Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological work was undertaken for the Phase 1 extension to Hillend Quarry. The programme of works consisted of the survey of an area of rig-and-furrow, the evaluation of two stone spreads, and a sample trial trenching evaluation. The rig-and-furrow appears to be of a type known as grooved broad-rig, which may be as early as medieval, but is more commonly post-medieval in date. Rig-and-furrow of this nature was probably formed by being ploughed in brief episodes using a mouldboard plough. Although there was no dating evidence associated with the two stone spreads, they were located fairly high up in the soil deposits suggesting that they are fairly recent in date. Their location at the northern end of the rig-and-furrow suggests that they are most likely to be clearance cairns associated with the aforementioned cultivation. The trial trenching evaluation suggests that the Phase 1 extension is located in fairly marginal land with the higher ground consisting of a thin layer of topsoil overlying bedrock and the lower ground being fairly boggy and containing pockets of deeper peat. There were no features, deposits or artefacts of archaeological significance identified in any of the trenches.
