Abstract:		 The assessment collated information that indicated the potential for uncovering and/or destroying archaeological remains associated with post-medieval mining activities. It had also been observed that there were a number of important archaeological and historic remains within the locality of the development. Although limited, there was evidence of prehistoric settlement within the vicinity, particularly to monument of Scholes Coppice, c.60m to the north of the development. This indicated the presence of a fairly substantial settlement, which may have extended within the boundaries of the development area. It was also noted that several sections of the 'Roman Ridge' were aligned to the east of the development (the nearest being c.120m away). It was possible that the feature may have run in close proximity or within the site. The site was thought to have been within the boundaries of Kimberworth Deer Park, dating to the medieval period. Further medieval activity had been identified in Kimberworth, in the form of the motte and bailey castle and the later moated manor house. Features relating to the Deer Park may be uncovered within the boundaries of the development area. It must be considered, however, that this site had been extensively developed since the 1960s. This was likely to have encroached upon surviving below ground archaeological deposits. Open cast and underground prospecting for coal may also have damaged and/or destroyed remains of archaeological interest. [Au(adp)]
