Abstract: |
An archaeological field evaluation was carried out on land at Chaddesden Park, Maine Drive, Chaddesden, Derby by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) in advance of a proposed new library building at the site, which lies within Chaddesden Park, once the parkland associated with Chaddesden Hall, which was demolished in the 1920s. The line of a Roman road runs to the south of the park and a Roman coin has been found in the area. A geophysical survey had been undertaken by Stratascan on the site. These indicated that much of the area was likely to have been disturbed but some anomalies with a possible archaeological origin were located. Three trenches were excavated along the footprint of the proposed new building. Trenches 1 and 3 were negative for archaeological remains. Trench 2 contained a linear feature, which after excavation was found to be a modern brick drain. Trench 3 was foreshortened as a electric cable, later revealed to be disused, was severed. |
