Abstract: |
Archaeological trial trenching was undertaken at the former tin mill at Wortley, Barnsley, South Yorkshire. Previous surveys undertaken at the site recorded widespread remains associated with a former tin and iron rolling mill, including limited structural remains, possible wheel pits and several goits. Five trenches were excavated, with excavation undertaken by members of the local community and local school groups. Whilst limited and actively eroding above-ground structural remains are present at the site, the results of the evaluation suggest that the survival of below-ground structural remains of the former mill is good. Possible machine bases, walls, floor surfaces, rolling waste and timbers were present in Trench 1, along with evidence of a former east to west aligned wheel pit and axel base for the wheel itself. The remains of a second, probably later, wheel pit aligned north to south in Trench 4 were also recorded, along with substantial accumulation of made-ground deposits in Trenches 2 and 3 and a wall and brick-lined drain in Trench 5. These remains are considered to be of local to regional significance. |
