Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation, consisting of a desk-based assessment and the excavation of a trial trench, was undertaken. The desk-based assessment revealed that the mill had stood on the site since at least 1634, and possibly earlier. The remains of an early dam upstream of the mill and the normal longevity of mill sites, suggested that King's Mill on Snow Island occupied the site of Huddersfield's medieval mill. A possible fill of a cut for the main millrace was identified, culverted at this point but clearly visible on maps. Stone and concrete remains of 19th century mill buildings at the northern end of the evaluation trench included a small culvert, apparently an overflow or secondary leat. It was clear that no pre-19th century remains survived within the site. From the careful examination of the earlier maps it was evident that any surviving traces of an early (medieval or post-medieval) mill could only lie under the buildings to the south of the evaluation trench and if present, were likely to be badly damaged.
