Abstract:		 Following a pre-application enquiry regarding a proposed residential development on land off South Road, Kirkby Stephen, Cumbria, Greenlane Archaeology was commissioned to carry out a heritage assessment and archaeological geophysical survey of the site. Information contained in the Historic Environment Record revealed 20 sites of archaeological interest nearby ranging in date from the Neolithic to post-medieval periods. Croglam Castle, 440m to the south-west of the site, which is believed to be an Iron Age defended enclosure within an extensive area of earthworks, is a Scheduled Monument but the other sites are undesignated. A putative Roman road passes across the proposed development site and stray finds of Roman coins are known; however, the medieval settlement probably focused on the centre of the town further to the north and the site itself has been open fields since at least the mid-19th century. The land has been subject to general agricultural improvement and the remains of two stone-built stiles corresponding to an extant footpath were present and earthworks comprising a possible lynchet and platform were evident in the most northerly field. The majority of the anomalies identified by geophysical survey relate to modern material, agricultural activity (including ridge and furrow) and geological variations; there was no evidence in the magnetic data for the supposed Roman road.
