Description

The Till-Tweed Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund / National Mapping Programme Project is a component of the broader, multi-disciplinary Till-Tweed Geoarchaeology Project. The Till-Tweed Geoarchaeology Project is managed from the University of Newcastle and is funded by the Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund.

The Geoarchaeology Project will be used to direct future research and management of the project areas and to inform the content of the interpretative material designed for widening access to the archaeology and environmental history of the area.

The Till-Tweed mapping project began on 27th March 2003 and was completed in September 2003. The project team, employed by West Yorkshire Archaeology Service Advisory Services, was based in English Heritage's York office.

The Till-Tweed mapping project area covers 8 whole and 5 part Ordnance Survey 1:10,000 scale quarter sheets in the county of Northumberland. The areas of the quarter sheets that lie in Scotland are excluded from this project.

The aims and scope of the project were to interpret and transcribe, at a nominal scale of 1:10,000, all archaeological features visible on air photographs, dating from prehistory to the twentieth century. New AMIE records were created for 254 sites and a further 218 enhancements were made to existing records.
