A406 North Circular Road, East of Falloden Way-Main Works

Six trenches (one of which was split into two parts) were dug in two areas of the road widening scheme. No archaeological significant deposits were located that were dated to before the 19th century. The construction of the North Circular Road seems to have involved large area topsoil stripping followed by landscaping including the dumping of thick deposits of modern rubbish.
A watching brief on the widening of the A406 was divided into 3 areas; Fore Street Underpass, Angel Road Viaduct & Lea Vally Viaduct, these are reported in the section Silver s/treet to Hall Lane watching brief report
