Abstract: |
An archaeological desk-based assessment was conducted in advance of a proposed development. The only surviving structure relating to the industrial activity which took place on the site in the past comprised a 20th century brick retaining wall. Two crop mark sites, possibly dating to the prehistoric or Romano-British periods were identified adjacent to the site. Recent archaeological works directly to the west of the site identified medieval ridge and furrow remains. The majority of the site was occupied by three collieries during the 19th and 20th centuries. This activity was likely to have destroyed any earlier archaeological deposits, except in the north-western part of the site. [Au(adp)] |
