Abstract:		 Of the sites identified by the desk-based assessment, only two have the potential to be affected by the proposed development (HER 17760, HER 20254). The medieval earthworks visible in front of the hall are substantial features, which would have been prominent on the landscape when the hall was constructed. There is no evidence for lynchets to the rear of the hall on which the development will be sited, however there is the possibility that the earthworks were destroyed when the hall was built and could remain as sub-surface features. A range of buildings to the rear of the hall were utilised as stables and will be directly impinged by the development, in light of this a photographic record was undertaken. The hall also incorporates a number of date stones built within the fabric of the building, the earliest being 1695 which in all probability was brought to the site when the hall was constructed. The results of the evaluation demonstrated the survival of a number of post-medieval and modern drains, which appear to pertain to agricultural practises. However, four of the evaluation trenches within the development area were unexcavated due to a number of factors. Several live services and drainage pipes were noted within Trenches 1 and 2. Trenches 7 and 8 were abandoned due to a leaking septic tank, which made the ground unworkable for health and safety reasons. At the southern extent of Trench 4 a live BT telephone cable was encountered and similar cables were observed in Trench 3. As a result of this and in agreement with Cumbria County Council Heritage Services, an additional trench was excavated along the north boundary of the development site. The evaluation produced no finds or deposits worthy of environmental sampling.
