Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey of a 135 hectare site in Sunderland to provide further information on the archaeological potential of the site in advance of the proposed development of an International Advanced Manufacturing Park. This report presents the results of the IAMP TWO survey undertaken, an area of 115 hectares. No anomalies of definite archaeological potential have been identified by the survey with only a single linear anomaly being tentatively identified as being of possible archaeological potential; a possible ditch in the south-west of the site. Broad areas of magnetic disturbance in the south of the site correspond to former structures and infrastructure from the North Camp area of the former RAF Usworth station and airfield (Tyne and Wear Historic Environment Record 1824). Two potential remains of mining activity have been recorded to the north-east of the survey area. The survey has mainly identified anomalies consistent with the former agricultural landscape, with ridge and furrow anomalies present across most of the datasets. Therefore, on the basis of the geophysical survey undertaken to date, the archaeological potential of the site is assessed as low, corroborating the results of the Cultural Heritage Chapter of the Environmental Statement produced for IAMP ONE. |
