Abstract: |
Prior to proposed woodland creation on land at Townhead Farm, Lowther, Cumbria, Greenlane Archaeology was commissioned to carry out an analytical archaeological survey. This comprised a desk-based assessment and walk-over survey of the affected area to establish the impact of the proposed woodland creation on the historic environment in compliance with the UK Forestry Standard’s requirements and guidelines. The site is spread over three principal areas and occupies numerous small fields in an area north-west of the village of Askham and west of Lowther. Most of the proposed woodland creation area is within the Lake District National Park, which is now a World Heritage Site, but much of the study area is immediately outside. The mapping evidence shows relatively little change at the sites from the time of the first available detailed maps of the area, in the mid-19th century, until the present day. The walk-over survey identified 11 sites within the proposed woodland creation areas, none of which were previously recorded in the Historic Environment Records. |
