Time Team - 'The Castles', West Shipley Farm, Hamsterley, Co. Durham - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results

Wessex Archaeology

Published: 2008-05-01
Subjects: Early Medieval Structure, Iron Age Structure

The geophysical survey revealed few features within the interior other than north-south ridge and furrow across most of the area; confirming evidence from aerial photographs and written sources for post-medieval cultivation. Potential archaeological anomalies within the interior proved to be mostly natural in origin, one anomaly in the south corresponding with an area of flagged flooring. Further [...]

Subjects: Medieval Religious Site, Medieval Structure

A series of six trenches and nine test pits were excavated within the village to evaluate the location, extent, character, date, and significance of any underlying archaeology. The archaeological evaluation provided a small but significant contribution to the story of Wicken which, when taken in conjunction with the work of the University of Leicester, will help to provide further insight into [...]

Peckham High Street, London - Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment

Wessex Archaeology

Published: 2008-02-01
Subjects: Desk-Based Assessment

Given the relatively low level of finds dating from Prehistoric eras recorded within the Study Area, a low potential for the recovery of Prehistoric remains has been identified. Romano-British evidence is largely limited to residual material and is concentrated away from the Site, as such a low potential for the recovery of material of this date is predicted. Given the location of the Site in [...]

Wessex Archaeology

Published: 2008-01-01
Subjects: Desk-Based Assessment

Overall, a low-moderate potential for the survival of archaeological deposits within the Site footprint has been identified. This conclusion reflects the low level of archaeological investigation within the Study Area, as well as the lack of significant historical activity. Specifically, there is a low potential for the recovery of Prehistoric and associated remains and a moderate potential for [...]

Overall, the Site is situated in an area of moderate archaeological potential with a low- moderate potential for the survival of archaeological deposits. Given the relative scarcity of finds dating from the prehistoric periods within the Study Area, a low potential for the recovery of remains of this date has been identified. Romano-British evidence is limited to residual material within the [...]

Published: 2008-01-01
Subjects: Historic Building

The Proactive Observation Recording Exercise observed the excavation of two piers for stairwells and the removal of a floor slab on a demolished extension to a depth of between 1m and 1.7m below the present ground level. All of the archaeological deposits observed during the watching brief appeared to be modern in origin and almost certainly represent levelling deposits and dumps either dumped [...]
