Abstract: |
An Archaeological evaluation was carried on land at the former Bristol Street Motors, Alfreton Road, Derby, Derbyshire (SK 356 376) for ten days between 29th March and 17th April 2007. This work was carried out in advance of the proposed construction of residential dwellings. This work was undertaken by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services. Six evaluation trenches were excavated which revealed undated boundary ditches, probable medieval furrows and plough-soils, the remains of the 19th-century railway embankment and a flood deposit of 1965, in the north of the site. The south of the site not only revealed medieval boundary ditches and furrows but also evidence for Roman occupation from a mid first-century ditch (possibly pre-fort), post holes, and features containing charcoal and daub from disused timber structures. An abundance of 2nd century pottery through to pottery from the 3rd and possibly 4th centuries residually within the medieval plough-soil, indicating the longevity of occupation in the immediate area was also recovered. |
