Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was maintained over the first three of a total of four phases relating to the northern extension of Shap Beck quarry. A fourth phase is anticipated in 2-3 years time. The quarry extension was within an area of substantial archaeological interest (NAA 2002), with significant sub-surface archaeological remains having been thought to lie within the eastern side of the extension area. These comprised a series of boundary features, a possible enclosure, and round houses of possible prehistoric date, identified through geophysical survey (Roseveare 2012). An archaeological watching brief during topsoil stripping over the first three phases of soil stripping of the northern extension area was requested in order to establish whether the potential for archaeological remains was realised, and to attempt a reconstruction of the history and use of the site. An archaeological excavation was anticipated in areas where significant archaeological features were expected. Although several features were identified during these phases, all were of natural geological origin. No significant archaeological features or deposits were uncovered during these phases. The possible enclosure was actually a rectangular limestone pavement, which lay very close to the surface. This may challenge the future reliability of geophysical survey results on such locations.
