Abstract:		 Capita Symonds proposed the construction of a 600m-long cycle track at Cemetery House, Flimby, Maryport, Cumbria (Grid reference NY 0198 3264 - NY 0220 3379). The proposed development area is located within an area of archaeological potential and, consequently, Cumbria County Council Historic Environment Service issued a brief requesting a rapid desk-based assessment, to be undertaken prior to the development, and a watching brief, to be conducted during any ground-disturbing activities associated with the development (Planning Application No 2/07/0976). Oxford Archaeology North was commissioned by Capita Symonds to undertake this work. The desk-based assessment, identified ten sites of cultural heritage significance within a study area radiating 500m from the development route. The watching brief was undertaken during the excavation of a series of test pits in advance of the laying of a drain on the western edge of the cycle track. In total, 14 test pits were dug within the first 300m of the route by a combination of manual and mechanical excavation. They were generally 1m long by 1m wide and up to 0.5m deep, the maximum depth of the proposed drain. No evidence of archaeological deposits, features or finds was observed. Subsequent works for the cycle path involved the scraping of material from the existing footpath. Given that there was no chance that these shallow works would impact upon any archaeological features and, in consideration of the negative results from the test pits, it was agreed with CCCHES that monitoring the scraping of the cycle track was unnecessary.
