Historic mapping (with entries in the Lancashire Historic Environment Record) the Local Planning Authority (LPA) has recommended that a watching brief should take within the development area.

De Tabley Arms, Clayton le Dale, Lancashire; An Archaeological Building Survey
J J Trippier
An archaeological building survey was required as a condition of planning permission for the renovation and conversion of the old farmhouse now encapsulated in the De Tabley Arms Hotel, Ribchester Road, Clayton le Dale, Lancashire (NGR SD 66273553). The work was carried out on behalf of Mr P. Ratcliffe by Bluestone Archaeology. The building, which fronts Ribchester Road to the west but has been enveloped to the east and north by hotel extensions, was found to comprise a two storey central block with projecting east and west wings providing an H-shaped footprint. The south wing, which has an eastern stairs tower, appears to be 17th century whilst the long central block is Georgian but altered in the Victorian period when the north wing was added. As the south wing is a single cell building it seems possible it originally served an earlier (medieval?) hall which was replaced by the Georgian central block.

The Former Boo Hole Landfill, Bury Old Road,Heywood, Near Bury, Greater Manchester; Archaeological Watching Brief
S J Baldwin
The planning consent concerns works required to prevent the migration of harmful gases through the local sands that are being generated by the former landfill at Boo Hole, Heywood, Near Bury. The GMHER contains a reference to a Bronze Age burial mound having stood in the vicinity of Boo Hole (2679.1.0). This burial mound, known as Heap Barrow, was first identified by T. Percival in 1751. A map of 1904 produced by Henry Taylor shows the approximate position of the mound. Despite this and prior to the project there was considerable uncertainty about the actual position of the mound. The landfill site was formerly a sand and gravel quarry which had operated from the early part of the nineteenth century. Initially the quarry workings were confined to a small area adjacent to Bury New Road. By 1922-29 the quarry had extended further south into a field containing a trigonometrical station. Following the submission of a Written Scheme of Investigation approved by Rochdale Borough Council, Bluestone Archaeology carried out an archaeological watching brief over the western edge of the site prior to deep excavation for a gas barrier and vents. This work was carried out over 5 days during August 2010. Test pits running adjacent, and parallel, to Bury Old Road confirmed the maximum extent of quarrying and landfill activities at the development site. The linear development trench placed in the western field produced landfill deposits and mottled iron stained sands. Despite the site's location on the fringe of the West Pennine Moors, which are known to have seen a considerable amount of Bronze Age activity, the suggestion that Heap Barrow may have been located at the development site could not be proved beyond doubt as no archaeological or prehistoric remains were found during the 2010 watching brief.
