Abstract: |
In February 2004 North Pennines Archaeology Ltd undertook an archaeological desk-based assessment and field evaluation on land at Netherhall School, Maryport, Cumbria. This was in response to a brief prepared by Cumbria County Council Archaeology Service following a planning application by the client, Capita Infrastructure. The work involved the assessment of historic sources held within the Cumbria County Sites and Monuments Record, Kendal and the County Record Office, Carlisle in order to set the site within its proper archaeological, historical, topographical and geographical context. This was followed by the excavation of three linear trial trenches in order to assess the presence/absence, extent, nature and state of preservation of archaeological deposits within a minimum 5% sample of the proposal area. A number of irregularly shaped pits and a series of stakeholes were observed cut into the natural subsoil within trench 1, although no material was recovered from any of these features. It is uncertain what function the pits had or when they were dug and filled in. The stakeholes could form part of an ephemeral structure constructed from thin wooden stakes driven into the natural subsoil. No archaeological features were observed within trenches 2 and 3. |
