Abstract:		 Groundwork Creswell were undertaking improvements to the Castle Lane Access of Bolsover Back Hills. This involved work around a Conduit House a SAM (Derbyshire 96a) and Listed Building (Grade II*). This monument was one of a series of conduit houses that provided a water supply to Bolsover Castle from 1662. Following consultation with English Heritage, an archaeological evaluation by trial trenching was undertaken in the immediate vicinity of the conduit house. Two trenches measuring 3m by 1m were excavated to the north and south of the conduit house. No archaeological remains were discovered that related to the use of the conduit house. One major feature was identified, this was a putative ditch cut into the bedrock. The feature ran along the slope of the ill and contained medieval pottery and smithing slag. As this feature was only exposed in the end of one trench its full extent could not be established. One possibility was that this putative ditch could have formed part of the town defences of Bolsover. Although significant the ditch discovered would not be adversely impacted by the proposed improvements to the footpaths to the conduit house on Bolsover Back Hills. [Au(abr)]
