Abstract:		 Archaeological 'strip and record' of two areas at Solway Holiday Village, Silloth, following the submission of a planning application for the extension of an existing residential caravan park. The archaeological 'strip and record' of two areas at Solway Holiday Village, Silloth, following the submission of a planning application for the extension of an existing residential caravan park, revealed several substantial linear and curvilinear ditches, large pits or ditch termini, and a small feature with in situ burning of medieval date. Large quantities of iron smelting slag were recovered from across both areas, and animal bone and carbonised grain were recovered from samples. The site formed part of a wider settlement with domestic activities taking place alongside iron smelting. The ditches perhaps defined the edge of a settlement or activity area and had filled by the late medieval period. The site was subsequently ploughed, with former slag heaps probably ploughed out and spread into a developing subsoil. Later activity at the site included various attempts at draining the field, evidenced by ceramic drains criss-crossing the site, and the remains of a mid-20th century concrete and brick structure in the west corner of Area B, sections of which were spread across the area after its demolition.
