| Abstract: |
Trent and Peak Archaeology was commissioned by Pegasus Group, on behalf of Clowes Developments, to conduct a geophysical survey on land off Wheeldon Way, Hulland Ward, Derbyshire, centred on NGR SK 25356, 47329 at a height of c.205m OD (Fig. 1). The work was carried out between the 30th January and 2nd February 2015 in accordance with standard, accepted practices for archaeological geophysical surveys (EH 2008). The site is situated on deposits of Bowland Shale Formation, with no recorded superficial deposits. The site was composed of two adjacent areas within adjoining fields to the northwest of Wheeldon Way, Hulland Ward, Derbyshire. Ground conditions for the survey were generally good, the land was in use as pasture during the survey. Geophysical survey demonstrated the presence of potential buried archaeological features, these comprised: Probable archaeological features indicating past agricultural activities, possible ridge/furrow, ([23], [24], [25], [26]; [39], [40]; [63]); ([8], [9], [11], [19], [20], [21]; [43], [44], [45]; [68], [71], [72]); ([16], [17], [18]; [50], [51], [54], [55]); ([56], [57]; [81]). Possible boundary/enclosure ditches [86], [87], and [89]. Linear, rectilinear, and curvilinear features which may possibly represent domestic structures or activities [52], [53], [61], [69], [70], and [90]. |
