| Summary: | An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Channel 4's "Time team" at "The Castles," situated on land at West Shipley Farm, Hamsterley, County Durham. "The Castles" comprises a large rhomboid monument of dry-stone wall construction with a single eastern entrance and substantial surrounding ditch. Not evidence for internal structures or dating had been found, but the monument was believed to be the remains of a fortified site of Late Iron Age, Roman-British, or post-Roman date. The "Time team" investigations included evaluation trenching, geophysical, and standing remains surveys. [Abridged Publication Abstract] |
