Stanwix School, Stanwix, Carlisle: Archaeological Watching Brief

In 2008, proposals were made for a small-scale redevelopment at Stanwix Primary School Carlisle, Cumbria (NGR NY 4015 5715). The school stands within the former Stanwix Roman fort, a Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM 28484) and, accordingly, English Heritage (EH) requested that any intrusive groundworks should be accompanied by a programme of archaeological monitoring and recording. On behalf of the school, Swarbrick Associates commissioned Oxford Archaeology North to undertake an archaeological watching brief in accordance with an EH-approved project design.
