Abstract: |
AOC Archaeology Group undertook an archaeological watching brief during the construction of a new suite of buildings at Solway Industrial Estate, Maryport, Cumbria. An earlier desk-based assessment of the development site had noted significant Roman remains in the vicinity, particularly those of the fort and civilian settlement that lie to the north of Maryport, and had suggested that a Roman road might cross the development site. In the event, no Roman remains were encountered during the watching brief. The only archaeological features that were observed related to the mid-20th century development of the site or to more recent activities. In particular, the brick-built walls of a mid-20th century factory building were encountered together with several other brick walls that are believed to represent internal sub-divisions of the factory. One such sub-division clearly related to an industrial process requiring heat. |
