Abstract: |
In May 2004 North Pennines Archaeology Ltd was commissioned by Verte Properties to undertake an archaeological desk study in advance of a proposed development on the site of the Cumberland Pencil Factory, Keswick, Cumbria. The scheme includes the redevelopment of the existing factory and the construction of 39 apartments. The development area lies close to the centre of Keswick, an early medieval settlement in origin, within an area of archaeological potential. The site lies close to a number of important archaeological remains, particularly dating to the prehistoric and Roman periods. The assessment has concluded that there is limited archaeological potential within the development site. This conclusion is based on a study of all existing information from documentary, aerial photographic and cartographic sources and from a borehole survey carried out in order to assess existing ground conditions. |
