Abstract: |
A desk-based assessment and field evaluation were commissioned by Cundall Johnston and Partners as part of a planning application for the proposed development of a playing field on the site. The site lies immediately east of the route of a Roman Road. It also includes the site of Sheriff Hill Colliery, which began operating in the 1780s. The assessment judged that the potential for prehistoric remains on the site was low to moderate, the potential for Roman remains on the site was moderate to high, the potential for Saxon or medieval remains was low and the potential for post-medieval remains was high. It concluded that a further stage of archaeological investigation would be necessary to determine the extent, nature, date and degree of preservation of any archaeological remains on the study site. The evaluation consisted of 6 trenches, No significant archaeological features were encountered within the trenches investigated, the evidence from each trench consistent with the site being heavily landscaped in recent times. |
