Woodwell House (Ancient Village / Settlement / Misc. Earthwork) — Fieldnotes |
|
An Iron age/Roman circular enclosure and a number of rectilinear enclosures are visible as cropmarks on air photographs, centred at NZ 3007 4531. The circular enclosure measures 12m in diameter and is complete along its length. To the west of this feature is a series of ditched rectilinear enclosures. It is not clear whether these enclosures are contemporary with the circular enclosure as one of the rectilinear enclosure ditches running northeast-southwest appears to overlay the western edge of the circular enclosure. I have worked on this farm on and off for years, so this soil has literally had my blood and sweat drop on it, and I've always had an interest for the ghosts I share this fields with, knowing one day I’ll be one of them. This site is on a low hill that looks down river to a sharp bend in the Wear gorge. Nothing on the surface can be seen, but over the years we have dig up lots of shaped stones to suggest that a building for some sort once stood on this site, also oyster or mussel shells often turn up in this area. At the apex of the hill at the eastern end of the site there is an extremely stoney area amount 15 to 20ft across, a possible ploughed out barrow. |
