Cemetery House Track, Flimby, Maryport, Cumbria: Archaeological Rapid Desk-Based Assessment and Watching Brief

Capita Symonds proposed the construction of a 600m-long cycle track at Cemetery House, Flimby, Maryport, Cumbria (Grid reference NY 0198 3264 - NY 0220 3379). The proposed development area is located within an area of archaeological potential and, consequently, Cumbria County Council Historic Environment Service (CCCHES) issued a brief requesting a rapid desk-based assessment, to be undertaken prior to the development, and a watching brief, to be conducted during any ground-disturbing activities associated with the development (Planning Application No 2/07/0976). Oxford Archaeology North (OA North) was subsequently commissioned by Capita Symonds to undertake this work.
