Abstract:		 Trial trenching was undertaken initially to evaluate the nature of any buried archaeological remains present, followed by scalable watching brief mitigation of four archaeologically significant areas. Archaeological Research Services Ltd were commissioned by Watson Construction Ltd to undertake a scheme of archaeological works on land within the industrial town of Clayton-le-Moors. The Proposed Development Area (PDA) presented a high chance of industrial archaeological remains, due to its longstanding history as a canalside mill and soapworks. This, and the added potential of post-medieval archaeological remains in areas necessitated a scheme of archaeological investigations. Trial trenching was undertaken initially to evaluate the nature of any buried archaeological remains present, followed by scalable watching brief mitigation of four archaeologically significant areas in order to contribute to the aims and objectives outlined in the correspondent Written Scheme of Investigation (Appendix II). The archaeological work was undertaken between October 2022 and February 2023 and in accordance with a written scheme of works agreed with the Development Control Archaeologist for Lancashire. Remains of the 19th century canalside mill, soapworks, and associated industrial buildings were uncovered throughout the site, leading to the scheme of further works which allowed a closer analysis of the phasing, drainage, and internal structures of the buildings.
