Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An archaeological watching brief was carried out from 23rd April to 30th May 2007 on a large area adjoining Hindpool Road and Cornmill Crossing, Barrow-in-Furness. This recorded the standing remains, foundations, and below ground structures associated with an iron foundry and gasworks established on the site in the 1860s, as well as monitoring geotechnical test pits and the removal of contaminated ground. The majority of the surviving foundations of the iron foundry were based around Cornmill Crossing. Beneath the concrete floor slabs evidence of three individual buildings and areas of metal working were discovered. An underground flue was also discovered, as were three interesting collections of buried cast iron and slag, presumably relating to phases of demolition. In total, four phases of activity were identified: the original foundry buildings, re-development after a fire in 1906, demolition in 1938/9, and late 20th century re-use of the foundry buildings for other purposes. The gasworks site revealed two buried buildings, the first of which was original and had a large basement containing a flue as well as tanks that may relate to the nearby railway siding. The second building was later and had a concrete floor slab and a huge foundation base adjacent. Two phases were identified - the original buildings and re-development occurring between 1873 and 1891.
