| Abstract: |
This area covered by this desk-based assessment lies in the western part of Ilkeston. Twenty-eight 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. The site lies at the western edge of the medieval settlement of Ilkeston. A late 16th century plan of the town suggests that the site lay on agricultural or horticultural land, although it is possible that the settlement had expanded or contracted during the medieval period to include the site. Cartographic sources indicate that the site was predominantly undeveloped well into the mid 20th century when it was being used as allotment gardens. One late 18th century source suggests that quarrying had taken place on the site. The majority of archaeological data points identified in the vicinity of the site date to the late 18th to early 20th century. Assessing the archaeological potential of the site is difficult to some extent due to the lack of archaeological investigations within the area. Given that proviso 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 relating to agricultural and horticultural landuse. There may also be evidence for post-medieval quarrying and buildings, dating from the 19th century. Much of the site has been substantially disturbed by the existing buildings, which were constructed in the 1970's. |
