Archaeology of Cumbria ABSTRACT This thesis consists of a survey of events and materia culture in Cumbria for the period-between the withdrawal of Roman troops from Britain circa AD ^10, and the Viking settlement in Cumbria in the tenth century. An attempt has been made to view the archaeological data within the broad framework provided by environmental, historical and onomastic studies. Chapters 1-3 assess the current state of knowledge in these fields in Cumbria, and provide an introduction to the archaeological evidence, presented and discussed in Chapters ^--8, and set out in Appendices 5-10.

  • Roman Roads in Britain
    THE LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES !' m ... 0'<.;v.' •cv^ '. V'- / / ^ .^ /- \^ ; EARLY BRITAIN. ROMAN ROADS IN BRITAIN BY THOMAS CODRINGTON M. INST. C.E., F.G.S. WITH LARGE CHART OF THE ROMAN ROADS, AND SMALL MAPS LY THE TEXT SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE, LONDON: NORTHUMBERLAND AVENUE, W.C. 43, QUEEN VICTORIA STREET, E.G. ErIGHTON ; 129, NORTH STREET. 1903 PUBLISHED UNDEK THE DIRECTION OF THE GENERAL LITERATURE COMAHTTEE. DA CsHr PREFACE The following attempt to describe the Roman roads of Britain originated in observations made in all parts of the country as opportunities presented themselves to me from time to time. On turning to other sources of information, the curious fact appeared that for a century past the literature of the subject has been widely influenced by the spurious Itinerary attributed to Richard of Ciren- cester. Though that was long ago shown to be a forgery, statements derived from it, and suppositions founded upon them, are continually repeated, casting suspicion sometimes undeserved on accounts which prove to be otherwise accurate. A wide publicity, and some semblance of authority, have been given to imaginary roads and stations by the new Ordnance maps. Those who early in the last century, under the influence of the new Itinerary, traced the Roman roads, unfortunately left but scanty accounts of the remains which came under their notice, many of which have since been destroyed or covered up in the making of modern roads ; and with the evidence now avail- able few Roman roads can be traced continuously. The gaps can often be filled with reasonable cer- tainty, but more often the precise course is doubtful, and the entire course of some roads connecting known stations of the Itinerary of Antonine can IV PREFACE only be guessed at.

  • Fell End Clouds Near Kirkby Stephen
    Fell End Clouds near Kirkby Stephen County/Area - Cumbria Author - Lou Johnson Length - 3.0 miles / 4.9 km Ascent - 550 feet / 167 metres Grade - easy Start - OS grid reference NY733005 Lat 54.399262 / Long -2.412767 Postcode CA17 4LL (approx. location only) This easy walk explores an area of limestone country that adjoins the western slopes of Wild Boar Fell. Besides the immediate interest provided by the limestone outcrops and pavements you get some fine views across the surrounding countryside including the Eden Valley, the Howgill Fells and northern slopes of Baugh Fell which lies above Dentdale. The start is at grid ref NY734005 where parking is available in an old quarry on the minor road formerly known as "the Street". This minor road is signed Ulldale and Fell End off the A683 Sedbergh to Kirkby Stephen Road. After parking walk towards the main road. On your right there is a stone wall. Leave the minor road just before the wall and follow a track that twists and turns up towards a ridge. In places the track is rather vague but it becomes more obvious as height is gained. The OS Explorer map provides good guidance. As you climb the views improve with the track eventually reaching a col (grid ref. NY742001). Ahead lies rough moorland that forms the western slopes of Wild Boar Fell. Turn right (southwest) along the ridge aiming for a large prominent cairn. Across the valley to your right lie the Howgill Fells with Harter Fell the dominant summit in the foreground. Beyond you can see the hump backed hills that are so typical of the Howgills.

  • Reducing Surface Flow During Floods in the Upper Eden by Scrub Planting on Mallerstang West Common, Cumbria
    Reducing surface flow during floods in the Upper Eden by scrub planting on Mallerstang West Common, Cumbria Nick A Chappell, Barry Hankin, Sally Bielby and Peter Leeson Technical Report EAA7570/R1 Reducing surface flow during floods in the Upper Eden by scrub planting on Mallerstang West Common, Cumbria Authors Nick A Chappell (Lancaster University) Barry Hankin (JBA Consulting) Sally Bielby (JBA Consulting) Peter Leeson (Woodland Trust) Funder The Woodland Trust Mr Peter Leeson (Partnerships Manager) Citation Chappell, N.A., Hankin, B., Bielby, S. and Leeson, P. 2018. Reducing surface flow during floods in the Upper Eden by scrub planting on Mallerstang West Common, Cumbria. Technical Report EAA7570/R1. Lancaster University, Lancaster (UK). Front cover: Fell Gill Sike, Mallerstang, Cumbria © Lancaster University, May 2018 2 WARNING The results of any modelling are dependent on the assumptions and constraints applied. The following assumptions and constraints are applied to modelling the effects of proposed landscape interventions in the Upper Eden on surface flow (overland flow on soils and the channel flow component caused by overland flow) using the 2D JFLOW model: 1/ Only the process of infiltration-excess overland flow on slopes and the resultant impact of this hydrological component on streamflow during floods is modelled. The role of groundwater flow within the underlying solid geology and the return of groundwater to soil or channels is not simulated. 2/ Observations of streamflow are not available for planted headwater micro-basins, so the model parameters for the ‘baseline’ conditions have not been adjusted to capture the dynamics of observed streamflow records. A gauging structure is planned for the recently planted Shoregill micro-basin (also called ‘Fall Gill Sike’).
