Abstract:		 North Pennines Archaeology Ltd were commissioned by Historic Environment Consultancy, on behalf of their clients Hargreaves Quarries North West Ltd, to undertake an archaeological excavation at Lower Brockholes Quarry, Preston, Lancashire (NGR SD 5780 3030). An Archaeological Watching Brief that had previously been undertaken by Oxford Archaeology North during topsoil-stripping operations in the Phase 3 Area identified a number of Late Neolithic / Early Bronze Age features within the development area which would be impacted on by the extraction. As a result, Doug Moir, Planning Officer (Archaeology) of Lancashire County Archaeology Service, required that a programme of archaeological excavation would be undertaken. NPAL was contracted to undertake the Archaeological Excavation in the Phase 3 Area of the quarry, and Phase 2 Area. All works in the Phase 1 Area and the Watching Brief in the Phase 2 Area had previously been undertaken by Oxford Archaeology North. The Archaeological Excavation was undertaken over fifteen days between the 7th and 25th September 2009 and recorded a number of features in both the Phase 2 and Phase 3 Areas. Three securely-dated prehistoric features were noted in the Phase 3 (OAN) area and one in the Phase 2 area. In addition to these there were a further 13 undated features that may have been of a similar Late Neolithic / Early Bronze Age date. The remains of an apparent field system in the Phase 3 Area appeared to post-date the Late Neolithic / Early Bronze Age activity, whilst post-medieval and modern drainage features were noted in both areas.
