The Archaeological Evaluation was undertaken over 16 days between the 03/02/12 and 24/02/12. The evaluation involved the excavation of 38 trenches, totalling 2960m2. Archaeological remains were identified in 13 of the 38 trenches which consisted of linear features, gullies and culverts dating from the Roman era and pits, possible quarry / bell pits and a backfilled mineshaft from the Industrial era. These appear to relate to early occupation of the area surrounding Hallen Farm and later mining in the surrounding area. Ten of the thirteen trenches were located in 3 fields, to the north, east and south, which surround Hallen Farm. The remaining three trenches were located separately, in the northwest and southeast corners of the site and also on the west side of the site.
