Abstract: |
This Archaeological and Cultural Heritage Desk Based Assessment was prepared to accompany an outline planning application for development at the Currock Yard site, Carlisle. The site comprises predominantly railways sidings and associated railway sheds. Almost the entirety of the site is hard standing. A 0.75km study area was chosen, which contained no World Heritage Sites, Scheduled Monuments, Registered Battlefields or Registered Common Land. There are eight Listed Buildings within the study area; primarily industrial and residential buildings and are all Grade II Listed. The area has seen activity since the Roman period due to the proximity of Hadrian's Wall. A site walkover survey was undertaken on 22nd September 2009. It was recommended that a Level 3 survey as defined by the English Heritage guidance Understanding Historic Buildings (2006) be undertaken on the built heritage remains of Currock Yard engine shed, and the details recorded prior to demolition. Geotechnical and geoenvironmental site investigations are planned to be undertaken and the results will be used to identify whether the potential to discover previously unrecorded archaeological remains within the development site is still viable. |
