Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Entran Ltd to undertake an archaeological evaluation ahead of a planning application for industrial development at Moor Street, Brierley Hill, Dudley (NGR SO 91202 86905; hereafter the 'Site'). The evaluation trenches targeted two historic buildings located within the Site; the Moor Lane Glassworks, which was located on the frontage of Moor Street (formerly Moor Lane) and was the earliest known glass works in Brierley Hill, and the Moor Lane Bottle Works, which was located in the central part of the Site. No evidence for the Moor Lane Glassworks was uncovered in the north of the Site. The results demonstrated that following the demolition of the works in c. 1870, the area had been greatly affected by quarrying and mining activity. The truncated remains of a brick wall associated with the Moor Lane Bottle Works were revealed in the centre of the Site. Two shallow trenches were also revealed that corresponded with buildings on historic maps, and may have represented robbed out walls. Evidence of sustained heating immediately to the west of one of the trenches may have been associated with the production of glass or an earlier pottery. No evidence of any furnace superstructure or flues was revealed. A large dump of stoneware wasters may have derived from pottery production at the 1878 Moor Lane Bottle Works, and the presence of saggars hinted at the earlier production of finewares. Up to 2.75m of made ground was revealed in the centre of the Site, which formed a levelling layer prior to the insertion of concrete beams and modern crane bases, and demonstrated that evidence for the former bottle works only survived in isolation.
