Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology were commissioned by Orion Heritage Ltd on behalf of Lightsource BP to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land at Cowley House Farm, County Durham, centred at National Grid Reference NZ 3877 2684. Five phases of activity were encountered: Phase 1: Superficial geology; Phase 2: Undated archaeological features; Phase 3: Subsoil; Phase 4: Post-medieval agricultural features and Phase 5: Modern plough soil. Undated archaeological remains were uncovered within Trenches 1, 8, 10, 11 and 12. In Trench 1 two linear gullies aligned roughly north-south were located at the southern extent of the trench. The remains of the substantial enclosure ditch were exposed within Trenches 10, 11 and 12. A slot excavated through the ditch in Trench 10 revealed that it had been recut; the combined width of the original ditch and re-cut was c. 4.8m and both were up to c. 1.20m deep. Internal features thought to be contemporary with the enclosure comprised a gully at the southern extent of Trench 10 and two gullies at the eastern extent of Trench 11. |
