Todlaw Pike Excavation, Otterburn Training Camp, Northumberland - Archaeological Excavation Report
Published: 2021-10-31
Subjects: Bronze Age
No datable artefacts were recovered from either site and both are currently undated but phased through analogy with other dated sites. Excavations at Site 1 revealed a cairn covering a probable grave cut surrounded by a ring ditch and the bank of the enclosure. These are almost certainly prehistoric features and probably Early Bronze Age in date. The bank enclosing Site 2 was found to be [...]

The excavation followed on from a desk-based assessment and two trial trench evaluations and was carried out in two phases. The initial phase focussed on exposing and recording the floor plan of the 1896 Barker and Allen German Silver Works, these investigations limited by the presence of a number of suspected asbestos-containing materials present across the site. Following removal of the [...]

Published: 2021-09-30
Subjects: Medieval, Post Medieval
The work monitored the excavation of one cable percussion borehole to a depth of 20 m and five window sample boreholes to a depth of 4 m. The small assemblage of finds does not provide much evidence to date the darker soils, although contexts (204), (502) and (1005) have been tentatively dated to the post medieval/medieval periods.

Published: 2021-09-01
