Abstract: |
The Farmers lies within the medieval core of Ulverston, on Daltongate, formerly known as Duke Street. The watching brief monitored ground reduction and the digging of foundation trenches by machine across the site. The remains uncovered at The Farmers, Ulverston clearly relate to the building fronting onto Daltongate and the outshut to the rear. The bases of brick walls, some with stone boulders as their foundations, were uncovered, as was a flag surface to the south, and extensive brick rubble deposits. Below the rubble was the natural geology. Sandstone steps emerging from a blocked opening in the wall fronting onto Daltongate led down to the surface of the natural geology, and a possible pit with 19th century pottery and other material was identified to the east of the base of the steps. The dating of finds associated with the construction of the outshut indicate that it was built in the late 18th or early 19th century and the main building is likely to have been built at the same time or slightly earlier. The deep cellars that formed part of the main building had apparently removed any medieval remains that may have existed on the site prior to that building's construction. |
