Abstract: |
In August 2018 Archaeological Research Services Ltd was commissioned to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land adjacent to Woodhorn Lane, Newbiggin-by-the-Sea (NGR NZ 31129 88045). The evaluation was carried out at the pre-determination stage of a planning application (18/01180/FUL) to construct 15 new dwellings. A Historic Environment Desk-Based Assessment identified that the proposed development area is included within the Newbiggin-by-the-Sea Conservation Area. The DBA concluded that the proposed development has the potential to impact upon the Conservation Area, whether positively or negatively, depending on whether the buildings are designed to be sympathetic to the historic nature of the village. Trench 1 did not contain any archaeological features although the deposit sequence demonstrated that demolition deposits containing ash, clinker and broken stone had been spread across the site and then buried. Trench 2 contained a post-medieval stone-built culvert. Trench 3 did not contain any archaeological features although it too contained made ground deposits deriving from demolition material. A line of stones found near the base the trench are believed to have been laid in order to provide a stable, dry surface to walk on during the in-filling of the site. No further work is recommended. |
