Abstract:
An archaeological watching brief was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) at Cathedral Road, Derby during groundworks associated with an extension to the existing college that lies to the direct north. Previous archaeological work on the site had located medieval and post-medieval activity. Therefore, due to its position next areas of medieval archaeology, there was a possibility that significant buried remains would be affected by the proposed development. The site was stripped by machine to formation levels under supervision of an archaeologist. Much of the western part of the site consisted of made-up ground and demolition layers lying over the natural sand and gravel. To the east were areas of silty clay subsoil over the sand and gravel. There were a number of modern drains, water pipes and other services on the site, along with two brick features, most likely a well and a water tank, dating from the late 19th century, when the area contained terraced housing. There were also other areas of disturbance, including two areas that may have been the bases of coal sheds, also dating from the Victorian period. No earlier archaeological features were identified during the watching brief.
