Low Hauxley
village in Northumberland, England, UK
Low Hauxley is a small hamlet in Northumberland, in the former Alnwick district, less than 1 mile (1.6 km) from Amble and around 27 miles (43 km) from Newcastle-upon-Tyne. It is combined with High Hauxley to make the civil parish of Hauxley.
Near the village is an important archaeological site, with an early Bronze Age cemetery as well as Mesolithic and Iron Age remains, but with much erosion. A major rescue dig was mounted for 13 weeks, between June and September 2013. Results were broadcast on Channel 4's Time Team special on 2 March 2014. Earlier work by Archaeological Research Services Ltd in 2009 recovered flint tools from buried land surfaces beneath the Bronze Age burials.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Low Hauxley” as village in Northumberland, England, UK. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as village in Northumberland, England, UK. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6692882. Authority coordinates are 55.318, -1.551. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2013, 2014 and 2009.
Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
