Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology were commissioned by WSP, on behalf of Highways England, to undertake an archaeological Strip, Map and Sample (SMS) including three evaluation trenches and watching brief areas as part of advanced works for the A1 in Northumberland: Morpeth to Felton improvements. The first element of advanced works comprised the diversion of a Northern Gas Networks (NGN) pipeline and a Northern PowerGrid overhead electricity line to the south of Causey Park (NGR NZ 18857 95034). The proposed works, which are located c. 9km north of Morpeth and 5.5km south of Felton, lie within three fields to the west of the A1 at Causey Bridge. Five phases of activity were encountered during the archaeological investigation. This comprised of Phase 1: superficial geology; Phase 2: Undated archaeological features (prehistoric?) uncovered within Trench 1 and 2; Phase 3: Medieval ridge and furrows within Area 3; Phase 4: Post-medieval field drain and subsoil and Phase 5: Topsoil. |
