Abstract:		 OA North was commissioned by Tendley Quarries Ltd to undertake an archaeological evaluation for an EIA for a proposed expansion of Peel Place Quarry. This work follows on from initial archaeological work comprising a DBA and walkover survey (OA North 2004) and a geophysical survey (Stratascan 2004) of the western extension. In agreement with Cumbria County Archaeology Service (CCCAS), four trenches were excavated over geophysical anomalies, utilising a toothless ditching bucket, followed by manual cleaning. The trenches varied in length from 15m to 30m and were 1.8m wide. . A single archaeological feature, a ditch, was identified within Trench 3. The ditch contained pottery evidence, which was dated to between the late seventeenth and early twentieth centuries. The trenches were not able to identify the targeted geophysical anomalies, although a land drain in Trench 4 may account for one of the anomalies identified. It is possible that the anomalies located are associated with the variable geological conditions across the site. Due to the fact that the potential for prehistoric remains has yet to be quantified, together with the possibility for medieval agricultural activity remains, a suitable mitigation strategy will be necessary in order to adequately record any potential archaeological resource.
