Abstract: |
Prior to the submission of a planning application for a proposed residential development on land to the south of Sir John Barrow Way at Lund Farm, Ulverston, Cumbria, a desk-based assessment and geophysical survey of the site was undertaken. The geophysical survey showed features of possible archaeological interest and these were examined via seven targeted evaluation trenches, each approximately 20m long, between the 5th and 7th June 2017. The majority of the archaeological finds and sites which are known about within the study area relate to its development in the post-medieval period, during the late 18th and 19th century in particular, following the development of the Ulverston Canal and the Furness Railway. The available mapping shows that the area was fields from at least 1832 and has remained undeveloped since. The evaluation targeted a small rectangular enclosure and a track marked on early mapping as well as additional features revealed during the geophysical survey. The track and enclosure were confirmed archaeologically as being post-medieval in date, while a ditch, visible as an earthwork and revealed during the geophysical survey, could be earlier. All of the finds recovered were of post-medieval date and mainly date from the 18th to 19th century with the exception of one possibly medieval fragment of pottery. |
