Abstract: |
North Pennines Archaeology Ltd were commissioned by Scott Wilson Ltd, on behalf of their clients Marshalls PLC, to undertake an archaeological watching brief on groundworks relating to the extension of Scout Moor Quarry, Edenfield, Lancashire (NGR SD 8191 1852). The General Archaeological Watching Brief was undertaken over five days between the 9th and 13th of June 2008. The watching brief monitored the stripping of an area of soil to stabilise the quarry face, consisting of peat deposits overlying boulder clay, which in turn sealed a thin seam of coal. A small section of the spoil-heap of one of the bell-pits identified and recorded during the topographical survey, associated with the early coal-mining activity, was clipped during the groundworks. No further archaeological remains were noted. |
