Abstract: |
In December 2013 Wardell Armstrong Archaeology undertook a geophysical survey of land at Cleator Mills, Cleator in Cumbria at the request of North Associates. The work was undertaken to inform a proposed planning application for a residential development. The objective of the geophysical surveys was to determine the presence/absence, nature and extent of potential archaeological features within the study area, and the presence/absence of any known modern features within the survey area, which may affect the results. Geomagnetic survey covering c.4ha of land was conducted to the northwest of Cleator, between the main A5086 and the River Ehen. The surveys detected significant modern disturbance, particularly to the north of the site, associated with modern service pipes and drainage. The only potential archaeological features detected by the survey were the remains of ridge and furrow cultivation on the west side of the site, and possible soil-filled features to the west, interpreted as a possible palaeochannel. |
