Abstract:
The assessment identified a large number of sites of archaeological interest, almost all of which related to the post-medieval period and in particular the docks themselves. These also included industrial buildings which were built around the docks, such as a paper works and ropery, as well as the Furness Railway Works. Any impact on one part of this area would have an overall impact on the whole landscape. It was therefore recommended that archaeological monitoring be undertaken of any sites which would be affected by redevelopment. [Au(abr)]
