This is the best summary I could come up with:
Volunteers are set to take part in a 12-day archaeological dig in the hope of finding signs of medieval life on a farm.
Due to written records, archaeologists have long known that part of the town was once the site of a medieval farm linked to Cistercian monks.
Mr Graham said he noticed crop marks when he was looking at aerial images in 2022.Crop marks are made by vegetation drawing on better nutrients and water supplies trapped in long-gone fortification ditches - leading to lush green growth that stands out.The marks looked like a "footprint of a large timber building", he said, adding: "I nearly fell off my chair."
He suspected the building was timber as the marks corresponded with holes required for large wooden posts to hold up such a structure.
"There have been houses on the scale that we're talking about excavated in Scandinavia but to find such a thing here in Cumbria would be absolutely remarkable," he said.
The site will be excavated by about 50 volunteers who hope to find signs of medieval life which can date the building.
