Hallthwaites Wastewater Treatment Works, Millom Without, Cumbria: Rapid Desk-based Research and Walkover Survey

United Utilities have proposed to construct a pipeline in the highway from Hallthwaite, Cumbria (NGR 318239, 485397) through The Green and onto Strands, with three pumping stations along the route and a new Wastewater Treatment Works near Strands (NGR 18186, 484443; Fig 1). The pumping stations will comprise an underground well and above ground kiosk with landscaping and access required. The treatment works (NGR 318667, 483809) are likely to comprise a combination of above and below ground structures with access and landscaping. Following recommendations made by the Cumbria County Council Historic Environment Officer, United Utilities commissioned Oxford Archaeology North (OA North) to undertake rapid archaeological desk-based research and a walkover survey of the proposed pipeline route.
