Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Fox Contracts on behalf of Qinetiq to carry out a heritage statement and an archaeological investigation at Sandy Gap and Dunes Rear, Eskmeals Range, Millom, Cumbria The heritage statement determined that the Site was utilised from the Bronze Age onwards, its location within an estuarine environment, the availability of flint and the later proximity of a Roman fort undoubtedly played a role in the repeated human occupation of the area. The test pitting exercise failed to uncover any deposits of archaeological interest within the dunes or at the impact level of the development. A fragment of 19th-century brick was recovered from Dunes Rear (approximately 3m below the top of the dune) and indicated that the dunes are likely to have formed within the last century. However, the northern edge of the dune had been truncated by a road and railway and despite the sterile nature of the dunes the brick may have been intrusive
