Abstract: |
Wardell Armstrong Archaeology was commissioned by Lee Page of Space Design Solutions, to undertake an archaeological evaluation within the rear garden of Mulcaster House, Church Lane, Stanwix, Carlisle, Cumbria (NY 40217 57035), in order to inform a planning application for the redevelopment of the property, which includes the construction of a swimming pool, summer house and associated car parking facility. The proposed development is situated within a landscaped garden attached to the late 18th century villa of Mulcaster House, which is a Grade II* listed building. Mulcaster House lies within the known boundary of Petriana Roman Fort and within the buffer zone of the Hadrian's Wall World Heritage Site, although the proposed development site itself is unscheduled. Due to the location of the site within the Roman fort, it was anticipated that significant archaeological remains would be revealed during the evaluation. It was somewhat surprising then, that the survival of archaeological remains was limited, especially given the extensive survival of substantial remains identified elsewhere within the footprint of the fort. It is most likely however, that the entire area within the site boundary underwent significant vertical truncation during the construction of Mulcaster House and its associated landscaped garden, destroying all but the earliest and/or deepest features associated with Roman activity. |
