Abstract:
Twelve trenches were excavated within the development area in positions that had been agreed during consultations with Durham County Council (Figure 2). The trench locations were set out in advance by J N Bentley, the principal contractor; each trench was 20m in length and just under 2m in width. The trenches were stripped using a mechanical excavator fitted with a toothless ditching bucket, under archaeological supervision at all times. The machine removed topsoil and subsoils down to a level at which archaeological deposits were identified or down to natural deposits. Topsoil was stored by the edge of each trench and was kept separate from any subsoils. The first six trenches were inspected by the Durham County Council archaeologist, who agreed that each trench could be backfilled upon the conclusion of the fieldwork. The trenches were photographed and where features were identified, a post excavation plan was hand-drawn. All potential archaeological features and deposits were investigated by hand excavation. All archaeological features were then photographed and recorded. Trial trenching at Kimblesworth has highlighted the low archaeological potential of the site. It is concluded that no further archaeological mitigation is required for this site.
