Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Costain Limited to undertake archaeological trial trenching (5 trenches) on land to the rear of the Exide Battery Works, off Salford Road, Bolton. The work was carried out in response to a condition of planning consent for construction of an In-Vessel Composting Facility. The work was undertaken in order to evaluate the site of the former historic farmstead of Bank House and an area of historic coal mining associated with the former Bank House Colliery. The excavations revealed that the Site had been extensively landscaped in the recent past, presumably during the construction of the current Exide Battery Works complex in the 1970s. Despite this disturbance some limited features of archaeological interest survived in Trenches 1, 3 and 5. Trench 1 contained the remains of late 18th century structures associated with a house, which appears to have been demolished, leaving only traces of the associated drainage and a rectangular cut feature containing 19th century pottery. Trench 3 contained a very shallow, heavily truncated north to south aligned ditch and a small pit. Trench 5 contained two large parallel north to south aligned ditches separated by a small gully. The more easterly of the ditches appeared to align with a sinuous field boundary on the historic maps of the area (1893-1970). The silting of the ditch was sealed with debris including 19th and 20th century pottery and glass. A further large ditch to the west may represent later reinstatement of water management in the area.
