Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at the site of the boiler house for the Newcomen-type beam engine at Elsecar New Colliery, to inform proposed conservation works at the site. The works formed part of a community archaeology and art project designed to engage members of the local community and school children at the site, in partnership with Great Place Wentworth and Elsecar, and Elsecar Heritage Action Zone, in the summer of 2019. The results of the investigations suggest that the boiler house dates to the mid-19th century, its final layout perhaps being an extension to a smaller structure shown in 1859, itself a replacement of a longer building possibly housing a wagon boiler. The latest phase of the boiler house contained two fixed, cylindrical externally-fired boilers set into brick-built cavities within the ground, supported on the brickwork and at the top by iron brackets. The fire grates and ash pits were accessed from a stoking cellar to the west, with a coal chute providing fuel directly into the cellars. Due to the confines of the trenches, it was not possible to reach the base of the structures, but the results support the very limited documentary evidence available and adds to the interpretation of the boiler house remains.
