| Abstract: |
The development area lies in the southern part of the town of Ilkeston. This assessment concerns the site and a wider study area within 1000m of the proposed area of development. This assessment has assembled available material held by the Derbyshire Historic Environment Record, Ilkeston Local Studies Library as well as additional resources. Forty-two known archaeological sites, find spots and selected listed buildings were found within the study area. There have been no previous archaeological interventions in the vicinity of the site. The assessment shows that the proposed development site has low to moderate archaeological potential. Very little prehistoric or Roman archaeology has been found in the vicinity of the site. Although medieval settlement is known from Ilkeston this is likely to have been concentrated some way to the north of the site. Whilst the majority of the site clearly remained in agricultural use throughout the post-medieval period there are some indications that a potter was using part of the site in the 18th century. The site was incorporated into the urban fabric of the town during the late 19th and early 20th century expansion. A substantial house was erected on a limited part of the site in 1854, and a chapel in 1869, but these have both since been demolished and replaced with 20th century buildings. The majority of archaeological data points identified in the vicinity of the site date to the late 18th and 19th century. Assessing the archaeological potential of the site is difficult due to the lack of previous archaeological investigations. The site is considered to have very low potential to contain archaeological features pre-dating the medieval period. Medieval and later features may be present, most likely in the form of field boundaries reflecting the predominantly agricultural history of the site. |
