Abstract:		 In 2021 Eden Heritage was commissioned by F Scott Builders Ltd to undertake an archaeological evaluation on a plot of land off Ellenborough Place, Maryport, Cumbria (NGR: NY 0329 3590). The evaluation was undertaken prior to a proposed residential development at the site, which had been granted outline planning permission by Allerdale Borough Council (Ref. 2/2014/0232). The proposed development area lay on the projected course of a Roman Road leading south from Maryport Roman Fort (HER 6256). In addition, a Roman 'pavement' and possible wharf structure had been revealed in the immediate vicinity of the site during construction work in the 19th and 20th centuries (HER Nos. 829 and 830). In the late 19th century, the site was also believed to have been the location of a rolling mill associated with Ellen Steel Works. A previous archaeological evaluation undertaken to the north had revealed the remains of two buildings, which were believed to be associated with the 19th century steel works. The trial trench evaluation was undertaken between the between the 16th and 17th August 2021, with three trenches (Trenches A-C) excavated across the southern part of the site. The trenches were located to target the possible course of the Roman road and the possible remains of buildings identified to the north during the previous evaluation. Land within the site was found to have been reduced to the natural clay, with a substantial deposit of made ground identified covering the majority of this area. This was believed to be a waste product of the nearby steel production. A remnant of an earlier post-medieval soil was identified on the eastern edge of the site, suggesting the previous agricultural use of the site. However, no evidence was revealed for the survival of earlier archaeological features or structures associated with the Ellen Rolling Mills.
