Abstract:		 Greenlane Archaeology Ltd monitored the excavation of five postholes for the installation of new interpretation panels at Kendal Castle, Kendal. The castle most likely originated in the late 12th century, replacing an earlier motte to the west. It was the property of the Barons of Kendal, passing through various owners, and with numerous modifications, until falling out of use in the late 15th century. The two new signs that were within the castle (Area 1 and Area 2) required two parallel rectangular pits, while the sign outside the castle (Area 3) required one long rectangular pit. The depth of excavation was 0.60m in all of the areas and all the pits were excavated by hand. Areas 1 and 2 comprised made ground consisting of stone and mortar rubble directly beneath the turf. Area 3 comprised a sandy clay deposit directly beneath the turf. The only finds recovered comprised post-medieval pottery in Area 1. No significant archaeological features or deposits were encountered.
