Abstract:		 A watching brief was carried out during groundworks, in connection with a reinforcement main scheme. Archaeological remains recorded close to the site included Bronze Age axes, a hoard of 3rd century coins and a Roman villa. Areas of disused coal and iron ore workings, known as scowles, lay in the surrounding area. A previous evaluation of part of the route which lay near the Roman villa had revealed a possible scowle, perhaps of Roman date, and a feature containing a sherd of Roman pottery. During the watching brief, the cinder trackbed of the 19th century Sling Branch Tramroad was recorded. This was traceable as a level track on either side of the main. No artefacts pre-dating the post-medieval period were recovered along the route. Previously unrecorded features observed within 100m of the sewer easement included two boundary stones, an air shaft relating to an iron mine and a culvert. [AIP]
