Abstract: |
Between the 24th of April and the 9th of June 2006, North Pennines Archaeology undertook an archaeological excavation and evaluation of land on the site of Highgrove Dairy, Harraby Green Business Park, Harraby Green, following a planning application for a residential development. The site lies to the south of the historic City of Carlisle, close to the London Road, which approaches the city from the south. The site of Highgrove Dairy stands on the course of a mill leat associated with Harraby Corn Mill. The excavation of the remains of the mill complex has allowed for the most extensive study of a post medieval corn mill with medieval roots to as yet be carried out in Cumbria. Although the site had been badly truncated by major redevelopment work in the late 20th century enough of the evidence survived on the ground and in documentary sources to trace the development of the site from the 12th century to the closure of the mill in the late 1950s. |
