Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Planning applications have been submitted by JMP Architects, on behalf of HPB Management Ltd, outlining proposals to redevelop the site of Merlewood, Grange-over-Sands, Cumbria (SD 4095 7960) into a residential holiday complex (planning references 5/07/0585 and 5/07/0586). Merlewood is a Grade II listed nineteenth-century mansion with ancillary structures and is situated within extensive grounds. The proposals involve demolition of most of the ancillary buildings, to be replaced with new structures. The structures outlined for demolition date variously from the nineteenth century through to the late twentieth century. The main house is being retained and incorporated into the new development. The works were to comprise an English Heritage Level II standard historic building investigation of a number of the structures that were scheduled for demolition, a topographic survey of the northern terrace and concrete WWII building platforms, and trial trench evaluations within the footprints of proposed new structures. Following submission of a project design, OA North was commissioned by HPB Management Ltd to undertake the works. The evaluation, undertaken in January 2008, involved the excavation of six trial trenches within areas likely to be impacted upon by the proposed development; only three trenches revealed features or deposits of archaeological interest. The high levels of disturbance and redeposited subsoil in the remaining trenches suggests that any archaeological remains that may have once existed are likely to have been truncated when the hillside was landscaped and terraced to accommodate the estate buildings and grounds in the 1850s.
