Abstract: |
This document presents the results of the trial trench evaluation undertaken on land to the north of Middridge Road, Newton Aycliffe (centred on NZ 262 263; Fig. 1). This work was required as a condition of planning consent for the construction of 69 houses on land to the north of Middridge Road (planning reference DM/17/01436/FPA). A previous geophysical survey was carried out on this area of land which indicated the presence of a number of linear, curvilinear and isolated features of uncertain origin (Phase SI 2014). The trial trenching conducted by Northern Archaeological Associates (NAA) aimed to investigate these features in order to establish the presence, nature, extent, preservation and significance of any archaeological remains. In total, eleven trial trenches were excavated to sample these geophysical anomalies, and also to investigate geophysical 'blank' areas. No archaeological features or deposits were encountered during the trial trenching. The majority of the geophysical anomalies were identified either as natural geology or recent land drains. |
