| Abstract: | Desk-based assessment and geophysical survey of land at White Ox Farm, Penrith, identified features of potential archaeological interest, principally a substantial curvilinear ditch. These were further examined by archaeological evaluation and 'strip and record' investigation. A small area of pits/postholes revealed during the evaluation was ultimately found unlikely to be of any archaeological significance. The large ditch was investigated in several areas and the strip and record identified an apparent entrance, suggesting that it had formed part of a large enclosure. No finds were recovered from the ditch but radiocarbon dating provided a middle-to-late Iron Age date. | |||
