Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Following a planning application for the development of the Bankfield Hall estate and demolition of The Coot public house and erection of dwellings on the site, a request was made for an archaeological investigation of the whole of the proposed development area. This was to comprise a desk-based assessment, building recording of those buildings that would be affected by the development, and walk-over survey of the grounds. The present village of Great Urswick is undoubtedly of medieval origin and the study area is focussed around an important junction of roads, formerly the site of the village cross and stocks. The proposed development area is dominated by sites relating to Bankfield Hall and its estate, which was certainly in existence from the early 19th century, and buildings on the site of The Coot, which formed part of Cross House farm. A total of 31 sites of archaeological and historical interest were identified within the study area as a result of the desk-based assessment and walk-over survey. Several of these comprised standing buildings, which were recorded as part of the assessment. In general the significance of those sites within the proposed development area was considered to be low to medium, although the group value of those associated with Bankfield Hall was high. Recommendations for further work are made, including archaeological evaluation of the area around The Coot, and additional recording of buildings and features within the grounds of Bankfield Hall, where they would be affected, and monitoring of groundworks in those areas.
