Abstract: |
Lancaster University have been granted planning permission for the installation of a 2 MW wind turbine generator, with associated site access, on site access tracks, hardstanding areas, temporary construction and storage compound, cabling, and landscaping and environmental measures on land to the east of the University's South West Campus, off Bailrigg Lane, Lancaster (centred on NGR SD 4904 5742;). The programme of archaeological trial trenching and strip and record revealed evidence for medieval activity in the area. This appears to be mainly agricultural in nature, with a field system and an area of ridge and furrow identified within the study area, which was confirmed by geophysical survey that showed anomalies relating to such agricultural activity over the whole site. This was also confirmed by the evaluation trenching. The cultural heritage assessment also revealed the township boundary between Scotforth to the north and Ellel to the south and is believed to be medieval in date. Post-medieval sites included relict boundaries and tracks, former pits and ponds, a ditch and bank, a cropmark, a former woodland enclosure bank, and nine Grade II listed buildings in the vicinity |
