Abstract:		 In 2012 it was proposed to relocate a repaired spiral classifier and jigger to the Black Tom area of Snailbeach Lead Mine, Shropshire and erect a shelter to protect the restored machinery. Because of the archaeological significance of the site English Heritage required that this work be accompanied by a Programme of Archaeological Work, comprising desk-based research, field evaluation, and the archaeological monitoring of site groundworks. The Archaeology Service, Shropshire Council was commissioned to undertake the programme of archaeological. The documentary research was able to pinpoint the location of the spiral classifier and jigger prior to its removal and restoration in 1993. The trial excavation found that significant archaeological features and deposits relating to early 20th-century spar processing survived at a depth of c.0.25m below the ground surface. However, there was no evidence for a former shelter over the spar processing plant. The groundworks for the new shelter were carried out in summer 2013. The watching brief recorded the edge of a concrete surface, possibly a former working surface.
