Abstract:		 Wardell Armstrong Archaeology were invited by the developer to maintain an archaeological watching brief at Tearsall Quarry, during groundworks associated with the extension of the existing Tearsall Quarry workings on Bonsall Moor, for the extraction of fluorspar reserves. The quarry extension was within an area of archaeological interest, with the potential for subsurface archaeological remains to survive, ranging in date from the Romano-British/Medieval period through to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The most probable remains likely to be encountered were post-medieval deposits/remains associated with lead-mining. This had been highlighted by the presence of existing features of this type and period, subjected to investigation, and by an earthwork survey which recorded previously unknown features. Sixteen features were encountered during soil stripping within the area. Ten of these were features of archaeological interest relating to earlier mining activities in the area, four of which were previously unknown. This work has provided a rare opportunity to prove that as-yet unknown industrial remains of archaeological interest can survive sub-surface, leaving no trace at ground surface level.
