Cliburn to Whinfell Forest Pipeline, Penrith, Cumbria: Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment and Walkover Survey: Supplementary Report.

Following proposals by United Utilities for the construction of proposed pipeline from Cliburn to Whinfell Forest, Cumbria (NGR NY 5890 2440 and NY 5710 2720), Cumbria County Council Historic Environment Service (CCCHES) requested an archaeological desk-based assessment and walkover survey relating to the application area. Oxford Archaeology North (OA North) was subsequently commissioned by United Utilities to undertake this work. In total, 74 sites of archaeological interest were identified within the study area during the desk-based assessment and walkover survey, of which 26 had been previously recorded in the Cumbria HER. The report ‘Cliburn to Whinfell Forest, Penrith, Cumbria: Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment and Walkover Survey’ was produced in May 2008. Due to a rerouting of the proposed pipeline in Cliburn village and the Leacet Plantation/West Ling area of Whinfell Forest, a further walkover was conducted. This short document is supplementary to the main report to which reference will be made.
