Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was carried out during the course of groundworks associated with the installation of two biomass boilers, storage hoppers and associated fittings at Levens Hall, Kendal. The watching brief monitored excavation within the courtyard and between the potting sheds and the greenhouse to the west of the main house. A fairly straightforward sequence of deposits was exposed and several stone culverts were revealed near the junctions of the limestone gutters, which criss-cross the cobbled surface of the courtyard. Excavation in the north-east corner of the courtyard exposed a neatly constructed, possibly medieval well which had been capped with slate. The earliest pottery dates to the late 12th to 14th century, which is consistent with the earliest known period of construction at the site, although this material is likely to be residual. Most of the other finds were probably late 17th to early 18th century in date. The area between the potting sheds and the greenhouse was very disturbed and contained a large quantity of modern rubbish, which was most likely associated with the construction of the potting sheds. The greenhouse directly overlay a layer of topsoil, which contained various post-medieval finds.
