Abstract:		 Wardell Armstrong Archaeology were commissioned by Atkinson Building Contractors to undertake an archaeological evaluation at Mostyn Hall, Penrith, Cumbria (NGR NY 5184 3006). This work follows a planning application (Planning Application No. 3/13/0239) for the construction of a residential development on the former site of the Greggs bakery. Cumbria County Council granted planning consent for the development on the condition an archaeological evaluation be undertaken. An archaeological desk-based assessment was produced for the site in 2009 (Strickland 2009). The work is required as the site lies on the edge of the medieval town of Penrith. An Augustinian Friary was recorded in Penrith near the site as early as 1299. The extent of the friary is not known, though it is believed to have lain on or near Friargate. It is possible that the Friary could extent south into the proposed development area. The archaeological evaluation was undertaken over 2 days between the 17th-18th of September 2013. The evaluation involved the excavation of four trenches, totalling 100.8m2, 2092m2 of the proposed development area. No archaeological remains were noted. As this archaeological evaluation was conducted as part of a condition in association with a new residential development, no further work is deemed necessary. However, given the high archaeological potential of the area, it is recommended that any future work be subject to a programme of archaeological investigation.
