Abstract: |
An area of land adjacent to Long Lane, Chapel-en-le-Frith, Derbyshire (NGR SK 055 801) has been earmarked for development by Seddon Construction Ltd. An earlier survey had recorded a long earthwork features within the development site, which is described as an earthwork bank running parallel to Long Lane before curving to the south-west, where it terminates at the embankment of the former Midland Railway line. Following on from the survey, Derbyshire County Council recommended that an archaeological evaluation be undertaken to test whether the earthwork is of any antiquity or if there are any other buried features within the study area. In the event, this archaeological procedure was not implemented, and a programme of strip and record and limited evaluation was established in its place following the initial soil strip. This revised programme was agreed with the Derbyshire County Council Development Control Officer, who also approved a revised project design for the work programme. The strip and record was conducted over five days, 27th November to 5th December 2013. The main area of the site was cleaned by an 8 ton 360 excavator with toothless ditching bucket before a process of selective manual cleaning of revealed features was undertaken to clarify their form and character. Two evaluation trenches were excavated by the same machine through the two earthwork banks down to natural geology. |
