Abstract: |
A desk-based assessment and two phases of invasive archaeological work, including a watching brief and an archaeological evaluation, were undertaken of a development site in land at The Grange, Broomfallen Road, Scotby, Carlisle. Desk-based work indicates that the development site has remained within an enclosed field since at least the mid 19th century, with evidence suggesting earlier use of the site as a market garden. There are no known HER sites within the development boundary, although sites recorded in the HER in the near vicinity include the findspot of a hoard from the early medieval period. The watching brief was undertaken during ground breaking work for the site of a new cattery; a total of ten trenches were excavated over the remaining available land within the development site boundary totalling c. 308m2. No significant archaeological deposits or features were found. Two shallow linear features (010, Trench 6 and 005, Trench 8), although un-dated, are likely to relate to former post-medieval garden activity on the site, such as small hedgerows or plot boundaries. A possible pit (007, Trench 8), again undated, contained a sterile, natural subsoil-looking fill, and is possibly a natural feature such as a stone hole. A second pit (003, Trench 10), appears to be a rubbish pit containing late post-medieval to modern finds. |
