Abstract: |
Oxford Archaeology North compiled a Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI), acting as sub-contractors for AB Heritage, on behalf of Cleggs Construction Ltd, in January of 2012 to complete a programme of trial trenching. Following the formal approval of the Written Scheme of Investigation by the Development Control Archaeologist, OA North carried out the evaluation in January and February of 2012. The results of this work are presented in this document. Although nineteenth structures were located in each trench of some form, substantial remains were located in Trench 5. Following from the results of this work, Derby City Council request a programme of archaeological watching brief to be undertaken in the eastern part of the site, on the reduction of the current ground surface and on the excavation of the pile caps and elevator shaft. The archaeological works undertaken by Oxford Archaeology North exposed a number of nineteenth century remains. The earliest structure was exposed during the watching brief, recorded as walls 9015, 9016 and 9023 in the south-western part of the watching brief area, truncated by a building depicted in the Great Northern Railway plan of 1871. Substantial remains of buildings depicted in the same plan thought to have been workshops or industrial sheds were exposed by Trench 5 and during the watching brief. In addition Trench 4 exposed the south-western wall of the southern most building of a short row of small terraces fronting onto Short Street, depicted in the 1871 plan. |
