Birtley Lane, Birtley, Tyne and Wear. Archaeological Assessment

The Lancaster University Archaeological Unit, at the request of Turney-Wylde
(Construction) Ltd, undertook an archaeological assessment of a site on the east
side of Birtley Lane (NZ 2745 5545), Birtley, Tyne and Wear, in February 1996,
prior to its proposed development.
The assessment comprised a search of existing archaeological records for the area,
an appraisal of relevant published and manuscript documentation, and a field
inspection of the land affected by the development. A report was compiled on the
site which included recommendations for future strategies.
