Abstract:		 The site comprises a sub-square block of land at NGR NZ 24598 63505 and covers an area of approximately 0.52 ha. The trenching revealed limited remains of the Skinnerburn Iron Works within Trench 1, however, considerable remains of the Skinnerburn/Newcastle Pottery were recorded in Trenches 2 and 3, including a brick tank in the pottery slip house, remnants of a pottery kiln and various walls and floor surfaces. Finds included a substantial amount of pottery sherds, wasters and kiln furniture. Below the post medieval deposits were a three ditches of probable medieval date. No further archaeological work was required on the site of the iron works (north-east of Cookson's Lane), though further archaeological excavation was required on the site of the pottery (south-west of Cookson's Lane). The excavation phase of the work was undertaken in November/December 2016. The archaeological features recorded during the archaeological investigation have been placed within eight phases of activity: Phase 1, the superficial geology of the area; Phase 2, medieval agricultural field boundaries; Phase 3, developed soil; Phase 4.1, Skinnerburn/Newcastle Pottery; Phase 2, a clay extraction pit; ; Phase 4.3, later editions to Newcastle Pottery c. 1862 to 1893; Phase 5.1, demolition and landscaping of the pottery site post 1893; and Phase 5.2, late post-medieval (post 1896) to modern. Notable features recorded during the excavation phase included the structural remains of the slip house that included tanks, storage bays and a potential slip kiln as well as coal stores, walls, surfaces and the remains of numerous pottery kilns.
