Abstract: |
In February 2008, North Pennines Archaeology Ltd was commissioned by Entec UK Limited to undertake a programme of archaeological works on land associated with Haig Colliery (NGR: NX 9670 1760; SM no.27800), Whitehaven, Cumbria, and its immediate surroundings (Figure 1). The site is located within an area of high archaeological potential. Notable historical monuments and features within the environs of Haig Colliery are Saltom Pit, remains of the Wellington Pit, the Howgill Incline and Jonathan Swift's House. As a result, all works associated with the environmental improvements to the sections of the Whitehaven Coast associated with Haig Colliery required a programme of archaeological work to be undertaken. This was in the form of a watching brief, undertaken on all groundworks, in designated archaeologically sensitive areas. |
