Abstract:		 with a nine-tonne tracked 360-degree machine excavator using a 1.8m wide toothless ditching bucket under the direct supervision of an experienced archaeologist. Removed overburden was placed in separate heaps to either side of each trench and, along with every machined level, was subject to regular sweeps with a metal detector. Trenches were located using an advanced Global Positioning System (GPS), which also obtained heights against Ordnance Datum (OD). Potential archaeological features were sample excavated with all archaeological finds retained. A written record of archaeological features and soil sequences was created under the CAU recording system. All sections were drawn at a scale of 1:10 or 1:20 as appropriate, and a high-resolution digital photographic record was assembled (RAW and JPEG files). Artefacts were recorded against context and depth of recovery and retained for study. Cut stone was recorded during the fieldwork with a small selection retained for further analysis. Quarrying activity was revealed throughout the trenches with Trench 1 containing only quarry waste filling a quarried void, with further evidence of quarrying recorded in Trenches 2-4. The foundations of a stone wall was encountered in Trench 2, which corresponds with a structure shown on the 1886 Ordnance Survey map. This was part of a complex of buildings belonging to quarry workings, which were no longer present in the map’s 1906 edition. Iron files and zinc sheet templates were recovered from deposits associated with the building and its demolition, as well as window glass and ceramic roof tiles. A maker’s stamp on one tile fragment may be securely dated to after 1867. Probably a masonry workshop, the ‘floor’ within the interior of the building showed no evidence for having previously been subject to quarrying, though it may have been truncated. Nevertheless, no pre-nineteenth century features were identified.
