Abstract: |
The assessment was undertaken in advance of the proposed Phase 2 Coalfields Link Road and an improvement to Engine Lane. The study revealed cropmark evidence for an enclosure, potentially associated with early prehistoric activity, within the proposed bypass area. It was possible that the cropmark was part of a broader landscape of activity that may have extended into other parts of the proposal area. Evidence of Romano-British activity had been found to the north-east of the proposal site, whilst an extensive cropmark complex was situated c.2km east of the proposal site. Early coal mining may have occurred within the proposal area, although bell pits were most likely to have been situated near the outcrops of coal to the east of the proposal area. Cartographic evidence of the late 18th century showed Engine Lane to be set in a rural landscape, only three buildings stood within the proposed bypass route alongside Engine Lane. The buildings appeared to stand on sites occupied today. [Au(adp)] |
