Abstract: |
In July 2007, North Pennines Archaeology Ltd undertook an archaeological field evaluation on land northeast of Sandylands, Kendal, Cumbria (NGR SD 5280 9345). The area is towards the north-eastern extent of the town and is in current use as pasture fields. The work was commissioned by Brian Smith of Russell Armer Limited in order to fulfil an archaeological evaluation brief issued by Jeremy Parsons, Assistant County Archaeologist for Cumbria County Council Heritage Environment Services. The archaeological evaluation consisted of the excavation of eighteen trenches, and was required as part of the subsequent development works that have the potential to impinge on any as yet unidentified features in the area, that may relate to either the prehistoric or other periods. The land lies in the Kent valley, a known focus of prehistoric activity. Previous excavation in an area of similar topography to the proposed development area has produced the remains of previously unrecorded prehistoric activity, including a Bronze Age burnt mound in Kendal. Post-medieval quarries and a kiln have also been identified in the area (Hewitt 2006). |
