Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was conducted during the course of groundworks associated with repairs to a damaged drainpipe crossing the bridge over the moat at Carlisle Castle, Cumbria. The site is located within the Scheduled Monument area for the castle. A small area of the sett paving and sandstone pathway on the top of the bridge was lifted to pinpoint the origin of the leak. The current stone bridge is thought to have been constructed in the late 18th or early 19th century. The damaged pipe was buried within a mixed silt deposit from which a small quantity of post-medieval finds was recovered. The deposit from which they were recovered probably dates from when the bridge was heightened and arched with stone in the late 18th century or shortly thereafter, perhaps when the site was used as a garrison during the 19th century. |
