Medieval and Later Earthworks at Newby Hall, Newby, Penrith, Cumbria. Survey Report

Author(s): Christopher Dunn, Abby Hunt, Marcus Jecock

In October 2001 and March 2002, English Heritage carried out an archaeological survey and investigation of earthworks and other features in a block of land around, and to the south of, Newby Hall in Cumbria. The survey has found evidence for a complex palimpsest of earthworks within this block of land, including features interpretable as hollow-ways, possible pillow mounds, traces of ridge-and-furrow cultivation, terraced-ways, and remnants of enclosure boundaries. These features seem to relate more to the development of the village and past agricultural land use, than to a designed ornamental landscape. (This was report 28/2002 in a previous series)
