Abstract:		 Following a proposal by Balfour Beatty to undertake exploratory roadworks for the laying of a service pipe across Miller Bridge, Kendal, Cumbria (SD51759269), Cumbria County Council Historic Environment Services (CCCHES) recommended an archaeological presence should be maintained for the duration of the project. 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. Subsequently, CCCHES recommended that rapid historical research be undertaken in advance of the watching brief element of the project. The watching brief on Miller Bridge was maintained during the night of 9th July 2008. Initially, a test pit was excavated in the centre of the pavement on the eastern side of the bridge, which revealed three existing services and part of the stone construction of the bridge. In light of the presence of these services, further interventions were made at the northern and southern extents of the east side of the bridge, in order to ascertain the presence, or lack thereof, of these pipes. In each case, these existing services meant that the stone construction was damaged or partially-damaged, thus revealing the underlying large, roughly-hewn slabs of limestone with no identifiable bonding material. Subsequently, it was agreed that the service trench will be repositioned on the road surface itself, and this is likely to take place during proposed Council works for extending the width of the pavement on the bridge.
