Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited at Coronation Street, South Shields, Tyne and Wear (NGR NZ 3613 7601). Groundworks included ground reduction for the road and pavement as well as associated drainage gullies. The western end of Coronation Street was located within the southern extent of the churchyard of St Hilda's Church which was deconsecrated when the road was realigned in the 1970s. Ground reduction work along the northern side of the street commenced initially without archaeological supervision; all work was suspended when disarticulated human bones were encountered. Seven in-situ inhumations were encountered within the eastern half of Trench 1, including one within a brick shaft grave; all inhumations were recorded and exhumed. A quantity of disarticulated human bone was also recovered during the ground reduction works. At the eastern end of Trench 1 the demolished remains of the brick boundary wall of St Hilda's Churchyard were encountered, with a cobbled surface to the east forming part of an earlier surface of St Hilda's Lane. |
