Abstract:		 Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey covering 25 hectares on land at High Close Farm, near Aspatria, Cumbria, to inform planning for the reopening of a dormant limestone quarry (Planning Application Ref 2/19/9010 and 2/19/9011). The survey has identified a clear area of archaeological potential in the south of the application area comprising a sub-oval enclosure. The enclosure is located close to a cropmark of prehistoric or Romano-British origin which is recorded on the Cumbria Historic Environment Record (CHER Ref 3722) and is assessed as of high archaeological potential. Isolated high magnitude anomalies in the vicinity of the enclosure may be due to pits and are assessed as of moderate archaeological potential, whilst two particularly broad and high magnitude anomalies may indicate burning, although a modern origin cannot be discounted. An extensive area of magnetic disturbance in the north of the site clearly locates the extents of the former, infilled limestone quarry which is also recorded on the HER (Ref 10861). Elsewhere, anomalies have been identified which reflect the post medieval agricultural landscape in the form of ploughing and field drains. Therefore, on the basis of the geophysical survey, the majority of the application area is assessed as of low archaeological potential and locally high in the vicinity of the enclosure.
