an archaeological assessment and field visit of land to the northeast of Broseley, Shropshire as part of a study carried out to identify any archaeological constraints to potential future development at the Site. The assessment identified 12 archaeological sites within the Site boundary including the site of the 17th century Yew Tree mine. Site specific recommendations have been made for a phase of archaeological evaluation trenching of linear earthwork (feature 9) and linear earthwork - probable 17th century wooden railway route (feature 10) in advance of development, in order to ascertain the nature of remains at these locations and to inform any further mitigatory response. In addition a geophysical survey has been recommended for the square structure shown on 1675 map (feature 11) and square structure shown on 1675 map (feature 12) so that it can be confirmed whether any preserved remains persist of these features. On the balance of evidence the potential for prehistoric, Roman, early medieval, and medieval period remains to be encountered at the Site is considered to be low. The principle archaeological interest at the Site is that of the early industrial period and there is a high potential for preserved remains associated with one of the earliest industrial era coal mines in the Country (Yew Tree mine / Calcott Pit). Although the mine itself lies outside of the potential developable area it is highly likely that associated features such as the route of the 17th century wooden railway could pass through the Site, as well as associated ancillary structures such as a horse whim or winding apparatus. Any such preserved remains associated with the 17th century workings would be of local/regional to regional+ importance. As such, and in addition to the site specific recommendations made above, it is recommended that a phase of geophysical survey be undertaken across the development area to ascertain the degree to which remains may persist at foundation level and to quantify the archaeological resource at the Site. This would help inform the requirement, if any, for further assessment or mitigatory measures so that the archaeological resource can be safeguarded via preservation either in-situ or by record in advance of removal.
