Abstract: |
Beginning August 2006, North Pennines Archaeology Ltd undertook an archaeological watching brief during redevelopment works on redundant farm buildings at Chapel House Farm, Casterton, Kirkby Lonsdale, Cumbria. The site lies within the Lune Valley, 0.5km east of the River Lune and 1km to the southwest of the market town of Kirkby Lonsdale. The village of Casterton is 1.5km to the north of Chapel House Farm. The buildings are situated towards the bottom of a west-facing slope, at a height of approximately 70m above sea level. An archaeological building survey undertaken on site in 2004 (Wooler 2004) defined the buildings to be 18th century in date and as a result, all groundworks associated with the redevelopment of the barns were observed. These works entailed the excavation of three trenches within Barn A to form the foundation of partition walls, a further trench in Barn B, for the same purpose, a trench for service pipes, and clearance of material and excavation into the ground behind Barn A. The width of the trenches inside the barns was 0.8m, with the depth being no greater than 1.35m. All sections of these trenches were devoid of any archaeological remains. |
