Abstract: |
Wardell Armstrong Archaeology were commissioned by Rachael Coar of Persimmon Homes Lancashire, to undertake an archaeological field evaluation on land at Windsor Way, Carlisle, Cumbria (centred on NY 4006 5865), in advance of a planning application for a new residential development. The archaeological evaluation was undertaken over three days between the 17th December and the 19th December 2013. The evaluation involved the excavation of 14 trenches, eleven of which were clustered towards the southwest corner of the investigation area, close to the area of known archaeological activity to the south, with a further three trenches spaced evenly across the eastern end of the site. No trenching was undertaken within the northwest corner or the centre of the site, due to the presence of a major gas main running through these areas. All trenches measured 30m in length by 1.6m in width and were excavated to a maximum depth of 0.55m, revealing the natural substrate below topsoil. All trenches were devoid of any remains of archaeological significance, the only features revealed being several land drains and a former north to south aligned field boundary at the western extent of the site, which contained several sherds of late 19th/20th century pottery. |
