Abstract: |
A desk-based assessment and archaeological trial trench evaluation of land on Thomas Lane, Burgh Road, Carlisle, Cumbria. The development area included within it a single undesignated heritage asset, comprising a fragmentary cropmark which lay partially within the boundary, and was defined by two ditch circuits, the inner ditch with a possible entrance. The cropmarks were located on an elevated section of land overlooking the River Eden, which indicated they could be significant evidence of prehistoric activity, possibly an early prehistoric ritual enclosure or later settlement site. However, the results of the evaluation were negative, with only 19th century deposits and a contemporary ditch being encountered within the trenches. |
