Abstract:		 Prior to the submission of a planning application for the construction of a new café; at Levens Hall, Kendal, Cumbria, an archaeological watching brief was carried out during the excavation of a series of trial pits and boreholes in an area of the gardens to the west of the hall. The uppermost deposits comprised either garden soil or layers of gravel forming the pathways within or around the garden. Below these, in the vast majority of the pits, a layer of dumped rubble with lime mortar and fragmentary animal bone was typically present, to a considerable depth in some cases. Prior to the development of the garden a large amount of material had evidently been dumped across the area, perhaps as a deliberate attempt to level or raise the ground, and it incorporated a considerable amount of domestic and food waste. The date at which this occurred is uncertain, although it seems that the area has been used for the disposal of rubbish for a considerable period of time.
