Abstract: |
Between August and November 2004 North Pennines Archaeology maintained an archaeological watching brief on groundworks associated with a scheme for an underground electric cable between the Sawmill, Brampton and the Old Sawmill, Boothby, Cumbria. The work was requested in a brief prepared by Cumbria County Council Archaeology Service (CCCAS) following a consultation prior to the commencement of the scheme. The work involved the monitoring of the excavation of a linear cable trench only within areas designated by CCCAS as archaeologically sensitive. The scheme affects an area of archaeological significance recorded on the County Sites and Monuments Record. At the southern end, the proposed works lie close to the earthwork remains of Brampton Castle, a Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM 27694). The line of the cable runs through an area highlighted by the Cumbria Extensive Urban Survey as associated with the castle during the medieval period. The proposed cable also runs along the supposed line of the Stanegate Roman Road between Boothby Cottages and the old sawmill at Boothby (SMR 10005). Previous investigations in the vicinity of Boothby suggest the road survives in a good state of preservation below ground level (SMR 3118). The watching brief consisted of the monitoring of all groundworks within the specified areas by an experienced archaeologist. |
