Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd, undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey, covering approximately 15 hectares, in advance of planned improvements to the existing grade separated junction of the A19 trunk road and A1290 Downhill Lane west of Sunderland, Tyne and Wear. The survey has identified anomalies indicative of former agricultural land-use, including ploughing and former field boundaries, recent activity (dumping/infilling) and geological variation. A single linear anomaly of uncertain origin has been identified and for this reason an archaeological interpretation cannot be dismissed. However, the anomaly is on the same alignment as current boundaries and therefore a modern or agricultural origin is preferred. Therefore, on the basis of the geophysical survey, the archaeological potential of the area that will be impacted by the proposed junction improvements is assessed as low. |
