Site Data from an Archaeological Strip Map And Sample and Watching Brief at Hendon Sidings, Port of Sunderland 2023

This collection comprises images, scanned site records and a vector drawing from an archaeological strip, map and sample undertaken by Archaeological Research Services Ltd at Hendon Sidings, Enterprise Zone, Sunderland on behalf of the Port of Sunderland from 1st to 31st August 2022.
Evaluation trenching in March 2021 identified the remains of the well-preserved engine house (roundhouse) and a portion of the associated turntable. Subsequently, further investigation of the roundhouse and adjacent engine sheds was required to satisfy condition 9 of the planning reference (20/02296/LP3). Therefore, the purpose of the strip, map and sample was to identify, investigate and record any archaeological remains and extant structures on the site according to the Written Scheme of Investigation prepared for this work.
