Land at Scalegate Road, Carlisle, Cumbria: Geophysical Survey Report

Geophysics Survey Report This document presents the results of archaeological monitoring associated with the development of the Milbank Arms public house, Barningham, County Durham (NGR NZ 08592 10360). Monitoring was also undertaken during groundworks associated with providing access to the rear of the property and the part demolition of an outbuilding behind the Milbank Arms. Evidence of a complex sequence comprising five phases of construction and rebuilding were identified within the outbuilding walls. Although no dating evidence was uncovered within or beneath the upstanding remains, some of these developments could be related to historic mapping. A fire range forged by 'Henry Down' of Barnard Castle was photographed along with a copper (or water boiler). Inside the main building, part of the original wall was uncovered in text pit 6, beneath the serving hatch in the central corridor. No further archaeological remains were encountered within test pits 1 to 5.
