Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation at Dark Lane Colliery, Mirfield, West Yorkshire, was carried out by CFA Archaeology Ltd on the remains of three banks of late 19th and early 20th-century coke ovens. Two trenches were excavated through the oven banks; Trench 1 through Bank 3 and Trench 2 through banks 1 and 2. The substructure of the oven banks were recorded, showing the foundations consisted of large parallel walls infilled by shale and made ground. Other features of note were the vestigial remains of railway lines which supplied the site with coal for coking and transported the coke from the site to be used as fuel. |
