Eston Nab, Middlesbrough. Archaeological Evaluation

Lancaster University Archaeology Unit (LUAU) was commissioned by CPM to conduct
an evaluation excavation on Eston Nab, prior to the proposed development of the site
for a transmitting mast.
The site lies within an area of known prehistoric sites and spot finds, dating from the
Mesolithic period to the Iron Age. The site lies in close proximity to the Iron Age
promontory fort of Eston Nab.
Following the brief written by Teeside Archaeology, two trenches were excavated
measuring 5m by 5m. No archaeological features were present in either trench.
It was not recommended that any further program of archaeological work should be
carried out prior to the development taking place.
