Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out in advance of an extension to Wilsontown Open Cast Coal Scheme. Several features, some associated with earlier coal mining, were uncovered. These included parts of the Lawhead Branchline Mineral Railway, a spread of rubbish and rubble associated with Haywood Coal Mine, and a possible mineshaft. A concentration of pits was also identified. These were subject to further excavation although no indications of date or purpose were revealed. |
