Abstract: |
In June 2020 Vindomora Solutions Ltd were commissioned to undertake an archaeological evaluation scheme on land to the north of Fairfields, Longframlington, Northumberland. This project would seek to evaluate Phase 3 of development on the site. 21 trenches were excavated totalling a 5% sample (990m2) of the proposed development area. All of the trenches were shallow with no discernable topsoil/ploughsoil stratification. A network of field drains, previously identified in the 2019 evaluation to the northeast was recorded, as well as two alignments of furrow remnants. Both systems and their alignments can still be seen in the field to the west of the proposed site. The extent of evaluation coverage coupled with that of the 2019 evaluation suggests that the development area as a whole was part of the agricultural field system during the later medieval period, but that the medieval settlement itself did not extend into the development boundary. The evaluation also produced no evidence of any earlier archaeological remains. |
