Abstract:		 In June 2004 North Pennines Archaeology Ltd was commissioned by United Utilities to undertake an archaeological watching brief of works within the village of Blencarn, Penrith, Cumbria. The work involved the laying of underground cables through the village, a scheme that would affect an area of archaeological significance, recorded on the County Sites and Monuments Record. As a result, United Utilities were required to commission a programme of archaeological works during the course of the ground works within the specified areas. The village of Blencarn is a classic medieval settlement, recorded on the County Sites and Monuments Record (No. 6792). The village has a small green and hall at one end, and there are traces of strip fields which are indicative of medieval agriculture. A possible Bronze Age barrow also once existed in a corner of the village green, although no traces of this survive. No structural archaeological remains earlier than the 19th century were revealed in any of the trenches. A number of individual finds were recovered including a piece of worked flint found from within the topsoil of trench 1, and a number of fragments of medieval pottery from within a subsoil layer from trench 26. No further work is recommended.
