Abstract: |
In June 2005 North Pennines Archaeology Ltd undertook an archaeological desk-based assessment and field evaluation on land at 1 Close Street, Carlisle, Cumbria. The work was requested in response to a planning application for the erection of 8 apartments, a scheme considered to affect an area of high archaeological potential. The work conformed to the standards set out in a brief provided by Cumbria County Council Historic Environment Service. The work involved the consultation of the County Sites and Monuments Record in Kendal and the County Record Office, Carlisle, in order to assess the existing information regarding the site's historic, archaeological, topographical and geographical context prior to the commencement of fieldwork. This involved the collection of all readily available information regarding the archaeological landscape of the study area, including the locations and settings of Scheduled Ancient Monuments, Listed Buildings, Parks and Gardens and other, non-designated archaeological remains. This was followed by a visual site inspection and the excavation of a series of trial trenches in order to assess the presence/absence, nature, extent and state of preservation of archaeological remains. The work revealed the presence of a single medieval pit in trench 2 and a number of denuded features. These were sealed by a series of soil build up layers, the earliest of which contained a number of fragments of Roman period pottery. |
