Abstract:		 As part of pre-planning consultation for a proposed residential development on land off Carleton Road, Carlisle, Cumbria Greenlane Archaeology carried out a desk-based assessment and Phase Site Investigations Ltd was commissioned to carry out a magnetic gradient survey of the site. The geophysical survey was undertaken using a Phase Site Investigations Ltd multi-sensor array cart system (MACS). The MACS comprised 8 Foerster 4.032 Ferex CON 650 gradiometers with a control unit and data logger. The MACS data was collected on profiles spaced 0.5 m apart with readings taken at between 0.1 and 0.15 m intervals. The site is north-west of the village of Carleton and south of Harraby, on the south-east edge of the city of Carlisle. The Historic Environment Record records sites of most periods within the study area, in particular those of prehistoric and post-medieval date, with a number of sites of prehistoric date in the vicinity, including pits of apparently Neolithic date in the adjoining field to the north-east. It is close to the Roman city of Carlisle and Hadrian’s Wall and there are a number of certain or probable Roman finds and sites from the immediate area. Carleton and Harraby are first recorded in the 12th and 13th centuries. Both settlements have names indicating an early medieval origin, and a small kiln dated to the 6th or 7th century AD was discovered during archaeological investigations in the adjoining field to the north-east. The area saw relatively little development until the post-medieval period, following the Dissolution and after the coming of the Newcastle-Carlisle railway, and the site has comprised a single small field from at least 1847. Geophysical survey revealed various isolated dipolar anomalies and other areas of magnetic disturbance probably resulting from modern activity, as well as evidence for former agricultural activity. A few linear anomalies were also identified, but there was nothing to suggest they were of archaeological interest.
