Abstract:		 An area of potential archaeological interest, proposed for the site of a containment cell for the disposal of low level waste at a proposed open cast coal site, was stripped under archaeological supervision. It was thought possible that an early medieval farmstead may have lain within the site, to the south of the now-demolished Park Farm, which had itself dated from 1776. A ditched trackway and other cropmark features, possibly part of a Romano-British enclosure system, may have extended onto the site. During the evaluation, possible Romano-British enclosure ditches were identified. These appeared to have been cut by ridge and furrow, but were not excavated and therefore could not be dated. The foundations of Park Farm were identified, but no evidence for the postulated medieval farmhouse was seen. [AIP]
