Abstract: |
Northamptonshire Archaeology was commissioned to carry out a 12ha magnetometer survey on land to the north of Strawberry How Road, Cockermouth. The majority of fields contained a pattern of ridge and furrow, 'rigg', cultivation of presumably medieval or later date. Considerable amounts of geological responses were detected in the vicinity of Tom Rudd Beck, and were likely to result from sediments deposited by meanderings in the watercourse. Anomalies around a depression in Field 3 suggested a former quarry. Archaeological remains in the form of a ditch and two pits were located in Field 4. An area of possible burnt material was identified on the northern bank of the Beck in Field 3, putatively reflecting bonfires or even a burnt mound. |
