Overview
This dataset contains the 'Archaeological Assessment' and 'Strategy' reports produced for the 23 towns included in the Cumbria Extensive Urban Survey (EUS). This dataset does not cover small towns located within the Lake Distric National Park Authority.
The project had three phases: Data Collection, Data Assessment and Strategy.
The Data Collection stage draws together the accessible history of the town, the archaeological knowledge and historic buildings data.
The Data Assessment phase and the Strategy phases resulted in the production of two separate sets of reports: an Archaeological Assessment for each town and and a Strategy Report for each district. These reports utilise maps generated through the County Councils' Geographical Information Systems to present information about the towns.
The Archaeological Assessment report summarises the history and known archaeological data of the town, presents an analysis of the plan of the settlement and identifies areas of significant modern development, leading to the identification of areas of archaeological importance.
The Strategy report aims to provide guidance about the management of the archaeological resource in each district. This may be adopted as Supplementary Planning Guidance by District and Borough Councils.
The Archaeological Assessment reports and Strategy reports are presented here in PDF format.
