Abstract:		 Trial trenching was undertaken and a total of three trenches were excavated to locate and identify any remains associated with halls known to have been present at the site. A ditch was recorded, containing a fragment of late medieval pottery. Other undated features were identified and may have been of a similar date. The site of the Jacobean hall was not identified, although brick and pottery likely to be associated with this phase was recovered. Despite the area having been subjected to extensive mining, archaeological structures, deposits and artefacts associated with the last phase of the hall were identified in all three trenches excavated. This phase of the hall was probably constructed around 1800 at the height of the agricultural revolution and the hall and its associated buildings were indicative of the trend of model farms of this period. The extend of survival of below ground archaeological remains was impressive and demonstrated that further work in the area would be likely to locate the Jacobean phase of the hall and enhance the archaeological record of the later phase.
