Abstract: |
An archaeological Watching Brief was undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group on ground subject to redevelopment at Port Road Business Park, Carlisle. The works were requested due to the close proximity of the projected course of Hadrians wall which raised the posibility of uncovering remains associated with the wall. The watching brief did not encounter any evidence indicating that the alignment of Hadrian's Wall crossed the site. The alignment of the Port Carlisle Navigation Canal was observed, along with possibly contemporary industrial structures. The canal had been backfilled and the structures truncated prior to the construction of railway sidings on the site in the mid-19th century. The site was overlain by substantial depths of made ground associated with the establishment of the railway sidings. |
