Abstract: |
On November 24th 2005, North Pennines Archaeology Ltd undertook an archaeological field evaluation at Chichester Hall, Dicktrode Lane, Skinburness, Silloth, Cumbria on behalf of Mr D Shankland of Quadrangle Architectural Services. The work conformed to the standards set out in a brief provided by Mike Collins, the Hadrian's Wall Archaeologist for English Heritage. The work involved the consultation of the County Historic Environment Record in Kendal and the County Record Office, Carlisle, in order to assess the existing information regarding the site's historic, archaeological, topographical and geographical context prior to the commencement of fieldwork. This involved the collection of all readily available information regarding the archaeological landscape of the study area, including the locations and settings of Scheduled Ancient Monuments, Listed Buildings, Parks and Gardens and other, non-designated archaeological remains. This was followed by a visual site inspection and the excavation of two trial trenches in order to assess the presence/absence, nature, extent and state of preservation of archaeological remains. No significant archaeological deposits were observed within the trench. It is unlikely that the development will impact upon any significant archaeological remains in the knowledge that much of the ground has been consolidated. Any features within the footprint of the development are likely to either be truncated away by previous developments or preserved beneath a substantial depth of deposits that are most likely to be contemporary with Chichester Hall. |
