Abstract:		 An archaeological desk-based assessment was conducted in advance of a proposed extension of the quarry. All of the existing structures on the site were of 19th and 20th century date. The survey area was close to two important historic sites; these were the Bowes Railway, that ran along the north side of the site, and the moated site of Wardley, immediately to the west. In addition to these, a Roman road, later called the Wrekendyke, ran along the south-east boundary of the site, under the A194. None of these features was sufficiently extensive to affect the study area. There were no indications that the proposed development area was occupied during the prehistoric or Romano-British period. The area was in use as agricultural land during the medieval and post-medieval periods, as it is today. No indication of medieval activity could now be seen, though it was possible that traces of ridge and furrow, levelled by later ploughing, may have survived. In the Second World War a heavy anti-aircraft (HAA) battery was set up in the southern part of the site, and substantial parts of this remained. Most of these buildings were still occupied, or used for animals and storage. The proposed development would remove the remaining structures of the anti-aircraft battery, and any buried deposits that may have survived. However, it was considered unlikely that archaeologically significant deposits were present here. It was likely that any proposal for the removal of the HAA battery would be opposed. It was recommended that consideration should be given to the commissioning of a detailed record of the HAA battery. [Au(abr)]
