Sceugh Farm, Carleton, Penrith, Cumbria

Oxford Archaeology North (OA North) was commissioned by Electricity North West
to undertake a programme of works in association with a utility development near
Sceugh Farm, Carleton, near Penrith, Cumbria (NGR NY 5452 2977). Development
works at the site comprised the removal of an existing electricity pole and the laying
of 80m of high-voltage electricity below-ground cable on the north side of the River
Eamont. The site is located within the Eden Valley, an area of high archaeological
potential, and, accordingly, Cumbria County Council Historic Environment Service
(CCCHES) produced a brief requesting a programme of archaeological works,
comprising a rapid desk-based assessment and archaeological watching brief.
