Abstract: |
The archaeological watching brief was undertaken over thirteen days between 17th December 2021 and 20th January 2022 during the removal of vegetation from the sand dunes at pre-determined locations at Askham-in-Furness and North Walney. This work comprised the close monitoring of turf removal by machine from two defines areas on the sand dunes at Askham-in-Furness and from three separate areas North Walney. No archaeological finds, features or deposits were identified during the archaeological watching brief. The excavations undertaken at Askham and North Walney were generally very shallow and comprised only the removal of vegetation which had probably established itself in the 20th century. Therefore, it was determined that the works did not reach the depths required to reach the level of the recorded archaeological remains. |
