Abstract:		 In August 2004 North Pennines Archaeology Ltd was commissioned by Paul Harrison of United Utilities, to undertake archaeological work at Askham, Cumbria as required in a brief prepared by Eleanor Kingston, Lake District National Park Authority Archaeologist. The work involved the consultation of the LDNPA Sites and Monuments Record in order to assess the existing information regarding the site's historic, archaeological, topographical and geographical context. 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. The development area falls within an area of high archaeological potential, within the medieval village of Askham (SMR 6746). The work consisted of the replacement and improvement of an existing overhead electricity line with an underground line, the course of which may have had an impact upon archaeological deposits within the medieval village. During this watching brief no significant archaeological features were revealed during the trenching. The walkover survey did however pick up evidence of ridge and furrow and related trackways. Askham is situated at the eastern edge of the Lake District National Park, to the west of Lower Park. The village consists of a linear settlement of medieval date, the remains of the medieval burgage plots have been fossilised by the fields to the south of the village.
