Abstract:		 Planning applications were made by the owners of 18 and 19 The Promenade, Maryport, Cumbria. As the site lies immediately to the south-west of the Hadrianic Fort, it is possible that the properties lie within any former parade ground associated with the fort, and that the extramural settlement may also extend into this area. Consequently, Cumbria County Council's Historic Environment Service attached a condition to the planning application, stipulating that an archaeological watching brief should be maintained during the ground works for the development. These requirements were conveyed to Oxford Archaeology North, who were subsequently commissioned to undertake the watching brief. The groundworks for the proposed extensions comprised the excavation of strip foundations. The Roman period deposits revealed during the investigations at Number 19, The Promenade, are difficult to interpret. They may in-fact be Roman levelling layers representing a parade ground associated with the Hadrianic Fort. The discovery of cobbling, within the north-eastern corner of the rear strip foundations, as well as a similar cobble layer, located within the strip foundations of Number 18, The Promenade, recalls reports of cobbling, found during the 1920s when the houses on The Promenade were originally constructed. These materials might suggest Roman period foundations. Although, whether these can be related to the putative Trajanic or late-Flavian fort, which has been postulated as extending into this area, cannot presently be substantiated. The Samian pottery could not be dated with any precision due to its degraded state of preservation, but a second century date is possible.
