Abstract:		 The two small fields in which the site lay were likely to have been created in the early 19th century, when the land between the main village road and the river was increasingly colonised with smallholdings for the expanding industrial workforce. The fields appeared to have been associated with the dwelling Mizpah, to the north. It was probable that the land was open and undeveloped until then, although this was not certain. The stone and earth banks and stone walls within or bounding the site were features of interest in their own right and formed an important part of the site's character. There were blocked openings in the northern boundary wall relateing to a former pathway. The ruined stone building in the north-west corner of the site was built between 1842 and 1884 and would have been for agricultural or animal use, related to the smallholding. A 19th-century mining map indicated that a lode ran through the site. There was no evidence of workings on the surface within the site, although it was possible that former excavated features had been backfilled. The significance of the apparently excavated area to the east of the site was uncertain, but could have been the result of small scale mining or quarrying related activity. [Au(adp)]
