Archaeological Evaluation (5 September 2007 - 8 October 2007)
NT 3184 6927 to NT 3166 6922 – South-eastern Wedge RP13, NT 3188 6941 – South-eastern Wedge Block An
archaeological evaluation was required in advance of the proposed South-eastern Wedge (RP13) development near Danderhall. The archaeological evaluation was undertaken between 5 September–8 October 2007. It comprised 5% of the proposed development area, consisting of eight trenches totalling 360m². A 4.5m long circular feature/pit associated with the coal mining industry was identified but left unexcavated. The evaluation uncovered no features or artefacts of archaeological significance.
A subsequent archaeological evaluation was required in advance of the proposed South-eastern Wedge (Block O) development again near Danderhall. The archaeological evaluation comprised 5% of the proposed development area, consisting of 15 trenches totalling 1,535m2. The location of the Woolmet Mains Farmstead
was identified to the W of the development. Material associated with the former use of the site within the coalmining industry was identified in the topsoil. The evaluation uncovered no features or artefacts of archaeological significance.
