Abstract: |
As part of a Higher Level Stewardship agreement with English Nature Greenlane Archaeology was commissioned by Friends of the Lake District to carry out an archaeological survey of an area of land at the Helm, Oxenholme, Kendal, Cumbria. This comprised a Level 1 walkover survey and a Level 2 survey of the remains of the Castlesteads hillfort, a Scheduled Monument in divided ownership with the adjacent landowner. The Level 1 survey revealed a total of 21 sites of archaeological interest within the survey area. Field systems visible in the aerial photographs could not be identified on the ground, but former field boundaries relating to them could. Other sites included a number of additional small quarries, features connected to water management, and an extant hog hole and gate. The Level 2 survey recorded the hillfort and enabled a basic phasing of the monument to be established. |
