Abstract:
On the 15th January 2019 Vindomora Solutions Ltd were commissioned by Stewart Architects on behalf of their client, the Landmark Trust, to undertake a scheme of archaeological monitoring at Morpeth Castle gatehouse, Northumberland. The Landmark Trust were undertaking a scheme of works to install new external handrails at the gatehouse. The Castle holds Scheduled Ancient Monument status (SM ND 653, HA 1006394) and as such Scheduled Monument Consent was required for the project. The consent document (reference S00203034) marked the requirement for an archaeological watching brief to cover the installation of the handrail. On the 26th February 2019, the monitoring took place on the excavation of twelve hand-dug post-holes and five bore-holes to allow for the installation of new handrails, in line with the Scheduled Monument Consent. The depth of these post-holes did not exceed 0.32m, and were found at the maximum depth to still be within the reconsolidation layers undertaken by the Landmark Trust when they purchased the gatehouse in 1988. No archaeological structures, deposits or artefacts were observed during the monitoring scheme.
