NT 12 94 An archaeological desk-based and field evaluation was undertaken in December 1995 and January 1996 as a part of an Environmental Assessment associated with a proposed opencast coal mine. Parts of the proposed development area have been subject to previous opencast mining operations.
Most of the remains identified are of industrial archaeological interest. The work suggests that the survey area has small sectors containing sites of archaeological importance, but is generally of low archaeological potential.
A detailed report will be lodged with the NMRS.
