This volume details the results of archaeological and palaeoecological survey carried out in Cumbria between 1991 and 1997 as part of the North West Wetlands Survey. Divided geographically, the sections focus on southern Cumbria, the western coastal plain and north plains, discussing the background, aims and methodology of the project. The results of the survey highlight the long sequences of pollen and plant macrofossils that are preserved in Cumbria, some dating back to the Holocene. Having identified important areas, the authors focus on current threats to these areas, why these areas are in danger and possible management strategies for the future.

New research is incorporated in this examination of the landscape, palaeoecology, and archaeology of Over Wyre, Lytham Moss, the Central Fylde, the Lune Estuary Mosses, and the Arnside/ Silverdale area. The final chapters provide a synthesis of the evidence from the late glacial through to the post-medieval period. This is the third volume in English Heritage's survey of England's North West Wetlands.
