Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned to carry out an archaeological watching brief on geotechnical works at the former Brodsworth Colliery. The colliery is proposed for mixed development including residential and business properties. The watching brief was carried out following consultation with the South Yorkshire Archaeology Service (SYAS) in order to inform a future strategy for archaeological mitigation. The specific aims of the exercise were to observe, record and determine the nature and extent of the made ground deposits and to determine whether archaeological deposits were present. The watching brief was conducted on two separate areas of the site, Areas 1 and 2. Area 1 contained previously observed crop marks of unknown date. Made ground deposits associated with 20th century land-use were present in Area 2, but no archaeological deposits or remains were observed in the test-pits in either of the Areas during the watching brief. |
