Abstract:		 Pre-Construct Archaeological Services Ltd (PCAS) was commissioned by Ben Bailey Homes Ltd, to undertake an archaeological strip, map and record on land to the south of Each Well Lane, Alfreton, Derbyshire (NGR: SK 4033 5499). This work was undertaken as part of a condition attached to the granting of planning permission for residential development, on the advice of the Planning Archaeologist for Derbyshire County Council. Previous archaeological work on this site, consisting of a geophysical and topographical survey, with subsequent trial trenching, identified few features of archaeological significance, apart from a series of parallel linear pits backfilled with coal waste located within the north-western part of the development area. These pits were considered to have formerly contained sleeper beams for a possible rail/trackway and were probably part of an 18th century coal mining operation. In order to better understand and preserve by record this possible trackway, an area measuring c. 110m long by c. 15m wide was stripped of overlying topsoil to expose the full surviving extend of these remains. They were found to be associated with a concentration of large linear pits and a possible vertical mine shaft located at their western extent. They were also flanked by a series of possible postholes and associated with narrow, linear trenches. A post-medieval field boundary ditch and further small irregular pits were also recorded at their eastern extent. Although these features remain enigmatic, an interpretation for a horse drawn wagon way, of late18th-early 19th century date, associated with a possible vertical mine shaft either to extract coal or bring in heavy (winching or pumping) equipment to an existing gallery may be speculated.
