Abstract:		 Prior to the submission of a planning application for the creation of a new electrical substation on land north of Harker, Carlisle, Cumbria, Greenlane Archaeology carried out an archaeological desk-based assessment of the site. A site visit was also conducted on the 20th October 2021 equivalent to an English Heritage Level 1 survey. The site is located north of Carlisle, north of the village of Harker and an existing substation and former airbase. The wider area has plentiful evidence for activity in the Prehistoric and Roman period, especially within and around Carlisle itself, with substantial prehistoric remains found along the River Eden. The city centre housed an important Roman fort and city and continued to be occupied throughout the post-Roman period and beyond. The area was within the parish of Rockcliffe in the medieval period and initially owned by a family of that name. The nearest settlement, Harker, is not recorded until the late 16th century. In the post-medieval period map evidence shows the area to have been part of Rockcliff common and originally split into four smaller fields, with a building named ‘Moss House’ marked by the mid-19th century. The area was not heavily industrialised, although the railway passed close by and Harker had its own station. A substantial airbase was constructed to the south in the early 20th century. The site is currently used for grazing.
