Kendal Fell, Kendal, Cumbria. Archaeological Watching Brief.

United Utilities have been granted planning permission for the construction of a new booster pumping station on Kendal Fell, on land backing onto Kendal Golf Course (Planning Application SL/2009/0007; NGR SD 507 924; Fig 1). As the development has a high potential of disturbing structures associated with Kendal's eighteenth- and nineteenth-century lime industry, Cumbria County Council Historic Environment
Service (CCCHES) requested that an archaeological watching brief be undertaken during any ground disturbance caused by the development, in order to identify and record any archaeological remains encountered.
United Utilities requested a Project Design (Appendix 1) from Oxford Archaeology (OA) North and, following its approval by CCCHES, commissioned OA North to undertake the archaeological watching brief. This work was completed in February 2013, and this document presents the results of the watching brief and discusses the archaeological significance of the remains found during the course of the work.
