Summary
1. Summary This report describes the methodology and results of an archaeological watching brief undertaken by Tees Archaeology Research and Fieldwork Section at the Quaker Burial Ground, Linthorpe Cemetery, Middlesbrough. The site is centred on National Grid Reference NZ 4848 1893. The fieldwork was undertaken in October 2006 following an earlier evaluation in May 2006: the commissioning client was Middlesbrough Council. The site lies within Linthorpe Cemetery on the west side of the town of Middlesbrough. It originated as a small Quaker burial ground set in an agricultural landscape, but was incorporated into the new Linthorpe Cemetery and engulfed by the rapidly expanding town from the mid-19 th century onwards. The archaeological watching brief comprised the recording of several machine cut test pits targeted to assess the degree of survival of the boundaries of the burial ground. The well-preserved northern brick wall was again observed along with the inner western boundary on a stone foundation. No built structures were noted during test pitting to locate the outer western or southern boundaries. It is presumed that these were marked by hedges, trees or trackways.
