Abstract:		 The Environment Agency proposes to undertake works along the flood defences adjacent to the Egremont Bridge, Egremont, Cumbria (NGR NY 01191 10374). As the site lies within the medieval and post-medieval core of the town, it has been requested that a programme of archaeological works be undertaken. This comprised an archaeological desk-based assessment, and an archaeological watching brief to be carried out during the excavation of test pits prior to the proposed works. In response to a verbal brief from Cumbria County Council Historic Environment Service, Oxford Archaeology North has been commissioned to undertake the archaeological works. The desk-based assessment identified eight sites across the study area, three of which will be directly affected by the proposed development, the Bridge End Tannery (03), High Mill Race (04), and part of the medieval town (06). Of the sites identified none pre-dated the medieval period. Those dating to the medieval period included Egremont Castle (07), the medieval town (06), and the findspot of a key escutcheon (08). The remaining five sites dated to the post-medieval period and were generally related to industrial activities. As well as the aforementioned tannery and mill race (03 and 04), there was the Bleach Green bleach works (05), the Great Corn Mill, (01) and Shoddy flint and saw mill (02). All of the sites were identified through the HER and cartographic sources. Only Egremont Castle (07) was subject to statutory designation as a Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM 34977), and a Listed Building (LB 76123).
