Abstract: |
Following a proposal by Balfour Beatty to undertake further exploratory roadworks for the laying of a service pipe across Miller Bridge, Kendal, Cumbria (SD5175 9269), Cumbria County Council Historic Environment Services (CCCHES) recommended that an archaeological presence should be maintained for the duration of the project. The work was undertaken in March 2009. The bridge is a Scheduled Monument (443) and is also included within the County Sites and Monuments Record for Cumbria (5454), and dates to the early nineteenth century. The current project was further to rapid historical research and a watching brief that had been undertaken ahead of, and during, exploratory roadworks on the bridge in September 2008 (OA North 2008). In total, three test pits were excavated on the road surface of the northern side of the bridge. The tarmac surface was removed to reveal a surface comprising large, roughly-hewn stones. It is probable that these large stones, present in all three test pits, are part of the original, early nineteenth century, stone construction of the bridge. |
