Abstract:		 An evaluation comprising building recording, earthwork survey and trial excavation was carried out at the proposed site of an extension to a quarry. Several former quarry buildings and associated earthwork features which could be dated from map evidence to the mid to late 19th century were recorded. Buildings included a stables, a probable cafe and a probable ironsmith's workshop. An underground explosives store, a memorial drinking fountain and an earthwork defining the route of a dismantled tramline were also present. The trial excavation identified agricultural features, including ridge and furrow, probable plough furrows, two ditches of uncertain purpose, and ditches which appeared to have related to parts of the inclosure field system established in 1786. The possible line of a Roman road was investigated, but the only area of metalling found contained a piece of post-medieval glass. Other finds included 19th-20th century pottery and clay pipe fragments. [AIP]
