Author(s): Zoë Hazell, Vicky Crosby
In October 2013 small-scale archaeological investigations were undertaken on a selection of charcoal burning platforms (CBPs) at Barbon Park, Barbondale, Cumbria, that had been identified from aerial survey as part of Historic England’s National Archaeological Identification Survey (NAIS): Upland pilot project (Oakey et al. 2015). The work (Project 6304_Barbon Park) involved test pitting and obtaining short sediment cores from some of the CBPs; environmental samples were taken for charcoal analysis and identification of material suitable for radiocarbon dating.
