Abstract:		 HE Projects was commissioned by Matthew Grey, Halsall Construction on behalf of Coastline Housing Association to undertake a programme of archaeological recording during ground works required for the construction of a new housing estate. The site lies within 'Anciently Enclosed' Land with a geophysical survey suggesting very close proximity to remnants of a medieval/post-medieval field system, and possible later mining features so there was a high potential for prehistoric and medieval sites to survive within the project area. The fieldwork located and recorded ten pits that may be of prehistoric origin, two of which contained calcined bone. It is recommended that radiocarbon dates be done to confirm the age of these pit and a specialist study made of the bone to determine its nature. A pairing of ditches and a single linear ditch were identified as most likely representing post-medieval field boundaries, the paired ditches being typical of a removed Cornish hedge. An enigmatic trackway running along the western boundary of the site was also recorded, however its date was not determined. The fieldwork was also able to demonstrate that the other main features identified by the geophysical survey were the result of modern ground disturbance and geotechnical exploration on the site. No other features of archaeological interest were seen over the area of the site and it was concluded that the development had very little or no impact on any significant buried remains apart from those noted above.
