“…The earthworks on Castle Hills are scheduled as a Norman motte and bailey castle on morphological grounds, however a number of authors (eg, MacLauchlan 1849; Wilson et al 1996) have suggested that the site has a more complex history with earlier remains being present as well. A topographic survey in 2000 recorded features which did not appear to be contemporary with the castle, although the date of these is not known (Archaeological Services 2001a).…”

Following the ending of the cold war, the Royal Air Force station at Catterick in North Yorkshire was identified as being surplus to requirements. At the same time the Army was seeking extra accommodation in the Catterick area for units withdrawn from Germany. The station was therefore transferred to Land Command in 1994 and renamed 'Marne Barracks'. In 1999 the Ministry of Defence (MoD) commissioned an Establishment Development Plan (EDP) for the Barracks, to guide its long-term expansion and redevelopment. A key recommendation of the EDP was the need to undertake a programme of non-intrusive and intrusive archaeological investigations, which Archaeological Services Durham University were commissioned to undertake in 2000-2 (Archaeological Services 2001a 2001b;.In 2003 a planning proposal was submitted for the development of a large area of the former airfield for accommodation blocks for service personnel. Part of this area had already been assessed as being of high archaeological potential due to the presence of Bronze Age, Iron Age, and post-medieval ditches, its proximity to a scheduled monument, and the depth of burial of the old ground surface during landscaping of the airfield in the 1930s (Archaeological Services 2002). It was recognised that the proposed development had the potential to disturb significant archaeological remains, even though the presence of the Neolithic enclosure was not known at the time, and since further development of the site might be requested in due course the MoD requested full archaeological excavation of the entire 11 hectare development area rather than just the footprints of the proposed new buildings. Archaeological Services Durham University undertook the excavation in September-November 2004. LOCATION, TOPOGRAPHY AND GEOLOGYMarne Barracks is situated immediately south of Catterick village in North Yorkshire, bounded to the west by the A1(T) road and to the east by the River Swale (Fig. 1). The 2004 excavation covered an area to the north-east of the former runway centred on NGR: SE 2510 9695.The land within the barracks is predominantly flat with a mean elevation of c. 53 m aOD. An exception to this is Castle Hills to the north-east of the development site, a low natural hill modified by earthworks so that it raises c. 15 m above the surrounding ground level. The general flatness of the area has been accentuated by levelling of the airfield during the 1930s. Cut and fill operations were used to create a more level surface for an improved runw...

The Late Roman Field Army in Northern Britain? Mobility, Material Culture and Multi-Isotope Analysis at Scorton (N Yorks.)

At Hollow Banks Quarry, Scorton, located just north of Catterick (N Yorks.), a highly unusual group of 15 late Roman burials was excavated between 1998 and 2000. The small cemetery consists of almost exclusively male burials, dated to the fourth century. An unusually large proportion of these individuals was buried with crossbow brooches and belt fittings, suggesting that they may have been serving in the late Roman army or administration and may have come to Scorton from the Continent. Multi-isotope analyses (carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and strontium) of nine sufficiently well-preserved individuals indicate that seven males, all equipped with crossbow brooches and/or belt fittings, were not local to the Catterick area and that at least six of them probably came from the European mainland. Dietary (carbon and nitrogen isotope) analysis only of a tenth individual also suggests a non-local origin. At Scorton it appears that the presence of crossbow brooches and belts in the grave was more important for suggesting non-British origins than whether or not they were worn. This paper argues that cultural and social factors played a crucial part in the creation of funerary identities and highlights the need for both multi-proxy analyses and the careful contextual study of artefacts.
