Abstract: |
A proposal was made to the Peak District National Park Authority, by the Forestry Commission, for the construction of a section of track to enable timber to be extracted from the Snake Woodlands plantation. There is reason to believe that archaeological remains may exist on the site but their extent and state of preservation is unclear. Wessex Archaeology has been undertaken to carry out a watching brief in this area to determine and record the extent of any surviving archaeology. The archaeology was expected to consist of remains relating to the Hope to Glossop packhorse route which is known as the 'Doctors Gate'.. It is also reputed to be a Roman road joining the forts at Brough and Glossop. No evidence for its Roman antiquity has been discovered to date. |
