Abstract:		 Prior to the submission of a planning application for a proposed residential development on land off London Road, Lindal-in-Funess, Greenlane Archaeology was commissioned to carry out an archaeological desk-based assessment. This examines the known and unknown archaeological resource of the surrounding area and was carried out through the examination of both primary and secondary sources, including the Cumbria Historic Environment Record. A site visit was also carried out in order to make a brief assessment of the current condition of the site and identify any potential constraints to further archaeological work. The proposed development site off London Road, Lindal-in-Funess comprised a triangle of land bounded by London Road to the west, the railway to the south-east and the A590 to the north. Until the mid-19th century the area was largely agricultural in nature, but it soon became heavily industrialised with extensive iron mines to the east and north and an iron ore crushing works to the north-east. The majority of the fields making up the site were acquired or already owned by the Duke of Buccleuch by the 1870s at which point they were leased to Harrison Ainslie Company, which operated a blast furnace in Ulverston. A single mineshaft shown on a map of 1891 presumably represents their attempt to mine this land, but this did not last long. Also within the study area is an enclosure revealed in aerial photographs of possibly prehistoric origin and a Civil War battle was fought hereabouts in 1643, although the exact location is not known. There are likely to be industrial remains connected to the mining and processing of iron ore in the 19th century present at the site and earlier remains could also be present.
