Abstract: |
Prior to the submission of a planning application for the conversion of a barn at Furnace Cottage, Newland, near Ulverston, Cumbria, into a dwelling and following consultation with South Lakeland District Council, Greenlane Archaeology was commissioned to carry out an archaeological building recording of the site. The building recording was carried out to Historic England Level-2 type standards. The barn at Furnace Cottage, Newland is located immediately to the south of and adjoining the Scheduled Monument area corresponding to the former blast furnace built in 1746-7. The map evidence shows that a roofed structure was extant on the current footprint from at least c1804. The building was constructed by infilling a space between the furnace, to the north, the cottage, to the south, and the casting house to the east. The earliest element of the structure is the lower part of the west wall which was constructed in part to retain the mill leat beyond by revetting the slope and may be contemporaneous with the furnace. After the furnace went out of use it was used as a joiner's workshop and then a garage and the most recent alterations were probably made to accommodate these changes. |
