Abstract: |
Addyman Archaeology was commissioned by the National Trust to undertake an archaeological and historical study of the Castle Point limeworks on Holy Island, Northumberland. The 2009 works were to include a review of historical sources in Scottish archives and a Desk-Based Assessment, plus a review of aerial photographs covering the Castle Field. The lime workings form a part of the industrial landscape of Holy Island and comprise a number of features, including the Castle Point limekilns, which are a Scheduled Ancient Monument (designated as an industrial monument of national importance). Other features associated with the limekilns include tramways, a jetty and quarry. The aim of the report was to outline the findings of the desk-based assessment undertaken in order to better understand the construction and operation of the Castle Point Limekilns and associated workings, owned and operated by William Nicoll, a Dundee merchant, from 1860 to 1883. An excellent previous study that examined the history of lime working on Lindisfarne already draws together a significant amount of the available information, including information regarding the Castle Point limekilns. However, this study did not include a review of material available in Scottish archives and as such it was felt that an appraisal of these sources may provide new information regarding the construction and operation of the site. |
