Abstract:		 Greenlane Archaeology carried out an archaeological watching brief during groundworks associated with a scheme of tree planting, woodland pasture creation, and watercourse realignment along the River Lowther close to Setterah Park, near Helton, which involved the removal of sections of a former field boundary. The bank which was cut across during the course of the groundworks had seemingly weathered, causing it to be slightly uneven in profile; however, removal of sections through it revealed its uniform, friable silt composition and scarcely any stone material along its length. Flattening these sections did not require any below ground excavation and the extant profile of the ditch to the end of each section was recorded. Available maps of the area show that the field boundary was constructed between 1859 and 1897, replacing earlier field boundaries in the area. The 19th century date for the field boundary was borne out by the finds recovered from it: a collection of fragments of field drainage tile, although these were almost certainly residual and probably incorporated into the bank unintentionally. The most complete tile is a little misshapen and could be a 'waster'. It is therefore of local interest because it could have been manufactured at the tile kiln at nearby Hackthorpe, which is known to have operated between 1846 and 1866.
