Abstract:		 In November 2011 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Mott Macdonald on behalf of The Coal Authority, to undertake a detailed gradiometer survey and trenched evaluation on land between Langsett and Midhopestones in the district of Barnsley (NGR SE 2310 0021). The works were in advance of a proposed minewater treatment scheme, and followed on from an archaeological desk based assessment and air photo mapping exercise and lidar survey, which identified likely post-medieval mine-related activity. The Site comprised three fields of sloping pasture equating to approximately 2.7ha. The geophysical survey covered 2.46ha of the proposed site and demonstrated the presence of several archaeological features, along with a number of anomalies of possible archaeological interest. A number of linear and curvilinear features at different alignments were present in the central area, while the area to the south contained a curvilinear trend that represented a ditch excavated within Trench 2. Six trenches were excavated in the southern two fields, which were targeted on the results of a lidar survey, the geophysical survey and features visible on the ground. The archaeological remains revealed during the works were predominantly related to the late 19th century coal mine. A strong geophysical reading across the centre of the site was seen to be pitting and dumped deposits over the line of a coal seam. Two linear features identified by the lidar survey and the geophysical survey were most likely hollow ways. A north-south aligned ditch revealed during the geophysical survey may also pre-date the coal mine.
