Abstract:		 A rapidly completed walk-over survey was undertaken by The Archaeological Practice Ltd with respect to a proposed Woodland Grant Scheme on the Fenton estate at Doddington Moor, Northumberland. The main findings of the assessment are that the only known sites of historic importance are those of 18th and early 19th century mining associated with the Doddington Moor Colliery, including bell pits and associated drains. Rig and furrow predominantly found in the north of the site is probably of similar date while some of the boundaries of the site may be older. While prehistoric, Roman and medieval settlement sites are well-attested in the vicinity, there is no specific evidence for such sites within the present assessment area. Thus, while there is potential for as yet unrecognised early prehistoric settlement sites to survive within the site as built features or lithic scatters, no guidance can be given as to the potential location of such putative sites. The extensive remains of coal mining probably dating to the 18th and 19th centuries are of interest as a remnant of an industrial landscape, but individual features within that landscape, such as bell pits and drains, are not independently of high value. This mining activity, coupled with 19th or 20th century improvement of the north part of the site, has potentially damaged or destroyed earlier features there. It is recommended that any planting of the site should be associated with more detailed mapping of known sites of historic importance so they can be recorded and/or left as unplanted open areas within the planting scheme. It may be considered desirable to leave a portion of the historic mining landscape unplanted, following a similar pattern to the scheme recommended in 2016 on the adjacent Doddington North Moor site.
