Desk-based Assessment and Walkover Survey, Cumbria

In advance of a major development we completed a documentary research programme to assess the archaeological resource. Historic research was supplemented by a Walkover Survey, using a combination of GPS technology and photography to identify and catalogue archaeological resources within a study area. The project also included the production of a Gazetteer and Statements of Archaeological Significance for all of the resources identified.
