Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken across a proposed extension area for Whitemoor Haye Quarry, covering approximately 154 hectares of land south-east of Alrewas in Staffordshire. It was commissioned by Phoenix Consulting, acting on behalf of Lafarge Aggregates Ltd who own and manage the current quarry extraction programme. Twenty-three 50m long trenches were excavated across eight fields as the site is considered to include potential heritage assets of archaeological interest. This is due to the presence of widespread areas of cropmarks identified from aerial photography both on the proposed development area and in the surrounding landscape. Archaeological remains, although variable in their significance and extent, were present within nearly all of the fields investigated. The evaluation trenches clearly identified that prehistoric, medieval and post-medieval remains survive on this site but there was a lack of confirmed deposits dated to the Roman period. The later period features observed appear to be mainly representative of agricultural activity in the form of furrows and field-boundaries. Of particular interest was a focus of medieval occupation at the southern edge of the site. The features included a large ditch, a posthole, small pit, gullies and a large pit containing cooking pots and charcoal, suggesting that these remains are potentially representative of an enclosed medieval farmstead.
