Abstract:		 Greenlane Archaeology carried out an archaeological desk-based assessment and a site visit prior to the submission of a planning application for a proposed residential development on land at St Helen's, Dalton-in-Furness, Cumbria. The site comprises a single field dominated by the ruinous remains of St Helen's Chapel, which is thought to be of medieval origin. The site was known as St Helens from at least the late 18th century, with a building marked on the site of the chapel from at least 1806. The chapel was evidently being used as a dwelling by the early 19th century and the census returns describe it as a farm. Later maps show that the site increased in size with a number of additional outbuildings during the 19th century, before the construction of a new St Helen's Farm immediately to the east, at which time the chapel stopped being used as a dwelling and began to fall into ruin. By the early 20th century it was in poor condition and suffering from collapse. The loss of the decorative east window over the winter of 1946/7 led members of the Barrow Naturalists' Field Club to remove the surviving low north window in the following spring before it too was lost. There are considerable issues with the understanding of the chapel and it is entirely possible that it is not medieval in origin at all and is in fact a later folly.
