Abstract:		 Manning Elliot are currently preparing a planning application to redevelop a large area of land at Southend Road, Penrith, Cumbria (area centred NY 5163 2987) for commercial and residential purposes, as an extension to the town of Penrith. Following a desk-based assessment carried out by Oxford Archaeology North (OA North 2005), a verbal recommendation was made by Cumbria County Council's Historic Environment Service (CCCHES) to undertake further archaeological work where feasible; much of the outlined application area is currently in use as a car park or for other commercial or leisure facilities. The only available space for evaluation trenching was the site of the early eighteenth century bowling green, adjacent to the west side of the former Two Lions Public House, which is proposed as gardens for residential properties. This information will contribute to the planning application and may be used to inform decisions regarding any requirements for archaeological considerations prior to development. Two trenches were excavated, Trenches 1 and 2, by OA North in February 2005 to assess the nature and extent of any archaeological remains within this limited area. The desk-based assessment (ibid) had shown the bowling green to have been an open space since at least the early eighteenth century. It had long been associated with the Two Lions Public House immediately to its north and east, previously known as the Two Lions Inn or Bowling Green Inn. The public house is a Grade II* listed building (LB SMR 25303) and was built in 1585 for Gerard Lowther. There was also potential for the site to reveal medieval activity due to its position immediately behind the street frontage lining the southern end of the medieval market place of Great Dockray
