18, The Promenade, Maryport, Cumbria.

As the site lies immediately to the south-west of the Hadrianic Fort (Appendix
1), it is possible that the property lies within any former parade ground
associated with the fort, and that the extramural settlement may also extend
into this area. Consequently, Cumbria County Council’s Historic Environment
Service (CCCHES) attached a condition to the planning application,
stipulating that an archaeological watching brief should be maintained during
the ground works for the development. These requirements were conveyed to
Oxford Archaeology North (OA North) and a Written Scheme of Investigation
(WSI) was produced. OA North were subsequently
commissioned to undertake the watching brief.
