Abstract:		 An archaeological desk-based assessment was undertaken of a proposed retail and office development area. The site lay in the centre of medieval Kendal, near the market place and along the main route through the town, and, therefore, had the potential to incorporate significant sub-surface archaeological remains. The assessment highlighted the wealth of archaeological evidence, retrieved by various excavations throughout the town and from sites in close proximity to the study area, this indicated that the site was likely to have preserved archaeological evidence within its boundaries. Furthermore, the building on the northern part of the site was of Listed Grade II status, and would thus be subject to planning controls. An investigation was undertaken to identify evidence for existing below ground disturbance; this examined cellar plans and borehole evidence and established that a part of the development area, below the Westmorland Gazette Office on Stricklandgate, had been cellared, and that archaeological deposits were unlikely to have been preserved in this area. The remaining area of the site, however, had no evidence of cellaring. It was therefore recommended that a programme of evaluation trenching be undertaken to investigate the below ground survival of archaeological remains. The Listed Building should also be recorded to RCHME Level 2 standard. [Au(abr)]
