Abstract:		 The archaeological survey confirmed and surveyed the location of a shallow earthwork. The desk-based study revealed no cartographic or documentary evidence for any mining activity within the survey area. The area around Hudgill was heavily mined from the first decade of the 19th century on a large scale, which produces features of a totally different nature to the feature recorded in the present study. From this current lack of any documented information on the feature and nature of the earthwork it is likely to represent pre-nineteenth century mining activity. Surface workings of pre-nineteenth century date are not uncommon and are characterised by two main types of earthworks; hush working and bell pits. Hush workings used water management to scour overburden from the step valley sides to expose the natural geology as is clearly unrelated to the present feature. Bell pits would target veins of lead close to surface and form a line of closely spaced pits with a characteristic circular spoil collar; often with an associated trackway. These features can date from the medieval period all the way through to the 18th century. Again Asset 122 does not easily fit into this form of mining, although superficially very similar to a bell pit, the fact that it exists in isolation indicates that no ore was extracted.
