Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation on land to the east of Hillcrest, Tow House, Northumberland. The site lies directly between two potentially contemporary 16th/17th century buildings and within an area assumed to lie within the medieval settlement. A single mirrored 'L' shaped trench was excavated within the proposed development area covering an area of 49.6m2. The overburden was found to be shallow and contained numerous modern items such as glass sherds, brick fragments and plastic. Beneath this, the natural glacial geology comprised mostly loose gravels and sandy clay. While the modern concrete foundation for a drystone wall was noted near the land frontage onto Hillcrest, no archaeological remains were found within the trench. No background artefacts were recovered. |
