Abstract:		 A watching brief monitored the lifting of the stone flag and brick floors in three of the rooms on the ground floor of the Castle Dairy, which was one of a number of buildings in Kendal that were flood-damaged in December 2015. The Castle Dairy has medieval origins and probably originally served as part of a grange belonging to the castle. Areas of plaster which were removed and a fireplace, which was more fully opened in the room to the south-west end of the building, were also recorded. The depth of excavation was only around fifteen centimetres below the top of the flags, so deposits underlying the bedding material for the flags were not excavated to any significant depth. Two small pits were exposed in the west corner below the flags in the room to the rear of the building. One of these was probably a refuse pit for domestic waste, the other was lined with slate on the sides. It has been suggested that it may have been a soakaway, or the slate may have been packing material for a posthole, the post having been removed or long since decayed. The finds were late post-medieval apart from a very small quantity of residual medieval pottery of possible 12th to 14th century date. The exposed fireplace was originally much wider and squarer than it has appeared in recent years and will be opened to its former extent as part of the building's refurbishment.
