Abstract: |
As part of the River Hyndburn Flood Alleviation Scheme in Owaldtwistle, Lancashire, the Environment Agency (EA) undertook the renewal of the Antley Syke culvert next to the Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Primary School (NGR SD 74545 28622: Fig 1). As the development was located within an area of heritage potential, the EA Archaeological Advisor requested that a programme of archaeological watching brief should be undertaken during the excavations for the new drain. EA commissioned Oxford Archaeology North (OA North) to undertake the watching brief, which was completed in accordance with standard OA North practices and Lancashire County Archaeology Service (LCAS) excavation, recording and reporting requirements, between February and March 2012. The groundworks exposed what was considered to be part of the natural profile of the Antley Syke before it had been culverted. A stone-built wall on the edge of the syke and a large amount of debris filling its depression were thought to derive from the north wing of Tanpits Court, which was demolished during the inter-War period, and may have orginated, or replaced on virtually the same footprint, a possible watermill dating to the post-medieval or early industrial period |
