Abstract:		 The research found that there was the potential for archaeological deposits, particularly of the Neolithic period, to be encountered during the excavation works, based on the nearby presence of Mayburgh Henge and the discovery of worked chert artefacts during archaeological work nearby. The riverside was utilised during the post medieval period by mills, one of which owned the land on which the groundworks occurred, in 1838, and there was a chance that surviving archaeological remains from this period would be encountered. Except for sporadic housing, including Nos. 1-4 Southwaite Green Cottages and Ash Bank and Ash Lea, and the construction of the M6, the area has remained unaffected by modern developments. The archaeological watching brief, undertaken on Tuesday 6th and Wednesday 7th June 2017, monitored the excavation of a trench for the new electricity cable, which ran for a distance of 40m at a width of 0.3m and to a maximum depth of 0.9m. A mid orange-brown sandy silt was observed, overlain by 0.25m of mid brown silty topsoil. Despite the high potential for archaeological deposits of the Neolithic period surviving within the immediate vicinity of the archaeological monitoring site, no archaeological finds or features were encountered during the groundworks.
