Abstract:		 Prior to the submission of a planning application for residential development of land at Warren Fields, Brampton, Greenlane Archaeology was commissioned to carry out an archaeological desk-based assessment and geophysical survey of the site. A magnetic gradient survey was carried out to help establish the presence/absence, extent and character of archaeological features within the survey area. The site is located on the eastern edge of the market town of Brampton, c14km east of Carlisle. The wider area has plentiful evidence for activity in the Roman period, especially within and around Carlisle, which housed an important Roman fort and city, and Hadrian’s Wall is around 3km to the north. However, few sites of archaeological interest are recorded within the current study area and none are inside the site boundary. The most significant and closest is perhaps the site of the terminus of an early wagonway, which later became a railway, that was used to transport coal. The geophysical survey identified a number of linear/curvilinear trends and relatively strong positive isolated responses all of uncertain origin. The majority of these do not form any clear patterns or relationships that would indicate an archaeological origin and they are considered more likely to be associated with natural features or modern activity. There is a suggestion that some responses could indicate an anthropogenic cause, but the diffuse nature of the responses precludes a more definite interpretation. An unusually large number of isolated responses across the site could mask responses from some types of subsurface features (particularly small or discrete features), should any such features be present, and further mitigation would be best carried out via archaeological evaluation. The identification of anomalies and the presence or absence of subsurface features can only be confirmed by intrusive investigation. A site visit revealed no constraints to further archaeological work and no features of archaeological interest. There is some potential for archaeological remains to be present within the proposed development area, although this is low, and some of the features identified in the geophysical survey could be of archaeological origin. The most efficient way to establish this would be through archaeological investigation in the form of evaluation trenching.
