Abstract: |
Two evaluation trenches were excavated on land at The Coot, Great Urswick, following the submission of a planning application for the construction of a residential development at the site. A former public house, The Coot was originally part of a larger farm known as Cross House. There have been buildings on the site since at least the middle of the 19th century, some of which were evidently retained and used as part of The Coot, but the site was otherwise largely open land, although a pond is shown on part of it in the 19th century and a water course ran across the southern end. The evaluation revealed that in both trenches, below the tarmac surface and gravel bedding of the extant car park, were layers of dumped material. Unfortunately, the trenches were subject to flooding during the evaluation so it was not possible to examine all of these in detail. In Trench 4 the dumped deposits included large amounts of material such as bottles and pottery of 19th and early 20th century date, suggesting that the area had been used as a domestic refuse dump. |
