Abstract:		 A desk-based assessment had previously identified the site as being at the centre of a historically important coal-mining area dating back to the 17th century. Several earthworks, believed to represent the remains of possible bell-pits and drainage features, were surveyed as part of the fieldwork programme. A geophysical survey was carried out to locate further features and structural remains associated with coal working. Six trial trenches were excavated on the site of the suspected bell-pits and associated rubble spreads. Four of the six trenches appeared to contain archaeological evidence of coal-working activity, although the features and deposits in question could not be properly characterised or dated. Earlier archaeological activity of an unspecified date, in the form of a small pit was also recorded on the site. [Au(abr)]
