Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out at Shirebrook colliery and associated land, Derbyshire in November 2002 by Birmingham University Field Archaeology Unit (BUFAU), on instruction from G F Tomlinson and Sons Ltd. This followed a desk-based assessment and a programme of trial trenching, including areas outside the scope of the watching brief, which revealed possible prehistoric activity. The watching brief involved the monitoring of soil stripping along part of the route of the Perimeter Access Road (PAR), in an area identified during the trial trenching as containing features of archaeological interest. The area monitored was entirely stripped of topsoil, but only a limited area was machined down to the natural subsoil or bedrock. No features of archaeological interest were observed during these works. |
