Abstract: |
An archaeological desk-based assessment was undertaken following an application for a proposed open-cast coal extraction site. The SMR contained seven sites within the study area, including a number of coal mines, bloomery sites, medieval field systems and an engine house adjacent to Stanley Pond. The excavation of the open-cast coal extraction site would impact not just the identified archaeological resource but also the situation and setting of a number of sites, such as Linethwaite Hall to the south of the study area. The excavation would remove a number of medieval field systems, and would damage both known and unknown late-medieval collieries, of which there were at least two in the area; it would also remove the old mineral line, which was currently used as a footpath. The development would impact on the wetland sites centred in the southern half of the survey area, which had the potential to have preserved a significant archaeological resource. It was therefore recommended that further archaeological investigation be undertaken in advance of the development. [Au(abr)] |
