Abstract:		 Archaeological Research Services Ltd (ARS Ltd) was commissioned by Heritage Archaeology on behalf of Bellway Homes (Manchester) to undertake archaeological evaluation trenching on land south of Hilton Lane, Walkden, Greater Manchester. T The evaluation was undertaken between the 16th and 17th of December 2019 in accordance with an approved Written Scheme of Investigation provided by Heritage Archaeology. The evaluation comprised four targeted trenches, placed to provide sufficient coverage of the areas of potential archaeological interest and to enable the assessment of the presence/absence of archaeology therein. The evaluation revealed several areas of industrial activity related to the Burgess Land Coal Pit works. Trench 1 revealed a possible open cast mine (depicted on the 1850 and 1909 OS maps but not labelled) with several fills from the 19th century as well as some 20th century material that might have entered the backfill during capping of the feature in the 20th century. Trenches 2, 3 and 4 contained fragmentary evidence of a trackway that extended to the main pit heads from Hilton Lane to the north and then along the southern edge of the site. Trenches 3 and 4 also revealed the remains of three possible pit shafts, two of which (in Trench 4) were marked on the 1850s historic map, whilst the pit in Trench 3 was not marked on mapping but might represent further mining activity associated with the Burgess Land Coal Pits or later activity
