Abstract: |
A document presenting the results of an archaeological evaluation of Site A at Lowhills, Peterlee, Co. Durham. The evaluation was undertaken in support of an outline planning application for a residential development extending to 50.03 ha. It comprised the excavation of 57 archaeological trial trenches, representing a sample of approximately 1% of the development area. The report presents the findings of the extensive evaluation undertaken to date, and are sufficient to understand the likely effect of the proposed development on archaeology. Archaeological activity was present across the majority of the site, with concentrations in four areas. These were a double ditched enclosure and associated field system in Area 8, a rectangular enclosure in Area 5, an enclosure associated with pits, ditches and gullies in Area 6 and an irregular enclosure in Area 8. Finds included Iron Age, Roman and medieval pottery, as well as a lead spindle whorl. |
