Abstract:		 Following the submission of a planning application for the erection of a single dwelling on land to the rear of 41 Mitchelgate, Kirkby Lonsdale, Cumbria County Council Historic Environment Service stipulated that the ruinous building on site be recorded beforehand and that a watching brief be carried out during the groundworks. Maps show that there were buildings facing onto Mitchelgate, Kirkby Lonsdale from at least the late 18th century onwards and the building being investigated was built into the slope to the rear of No. 41 between 1849 and 1857. The upper floor had had its roof removed and the remains had been modified to form a garden feature, while the lower part had been infilled and the doorways blocked. The upper level retained a fireplace on the west side, including a projecting hearth and supports for a canopy, which suggest it formed a forge. The site is known to have been occupied during the late 19th and early 20th century by members of the Dean family, who manufactured clog irons. Demolition of the building revealed that the back wall was built directly onto the limestone bedrock and much of the dark silt which had mounded up against its sides had presumably been dumped over the ridge after it was built. The earliest finds from the site potentially date from the late 17th century but there was a definite concentration of late 18th/19th to early 20th century material. A ceramic drain of late 18th/19th century date was exposed along the east side of the site and a slag heap to the east side of the building spread over a wide area down slope. Clear 'tip lines' indicate that it had been added to on a number of occasions over an extended period.
