Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken in November 2015 by Pre-Construct Archaeology ahead of a proposed extension to Silver Top Quarry, Hallbankgate, Brampton, Cumbria. The site, centred at National Grid Reference NY 58822 61034, is located directly north of the existing quarry, north of the A689 at Hallbankgate. The archaeological evaluation aimed to identify archaeological remains by trial trenching, with a 5% trenching sample being investigated. To this end, 18 machine-excavated trenches, each measuring c. 50m x 2m, were investigated. The trial trenching revealed features of geological and post-medieval date, along with a number of undated linear features and an earthwork bank and ditch. |
