Abstract:		 The route of the new pipeline for the new Biomass heating system ran from the North Range of Chatsworth House (NGR SK 26051 70175), following footpaths within the north of the gardens beside the Conservative Wall glasshouse (NGR SK 26275 70208), and turning south around the Main Glasshouse and then north to the east of the Stables (NGR SK 26275 70324). The pipeline terminated at a new heating centre (NGR SK 26323 70362). Groundworks were carried out between 20.02.12 and 11.12.12 using 3 and 6 ton tracked excavators fitted with toothless buckets. In total approximately 575m of trench were excavated to a maximum depth of 1.2m and width of 1m. The archaeological watching brief encountered and recorded evidence of the historic development of the western gardens of Chatsworth House. Significantly the earliest structures and deposits encountered appear to comprise the walls of an orchard and the base deposit of a pond illustrated on plans and drawings of the 16th to 17th centuries. To the south of the present Conservative Wall glasshouse the Scheme crossed the remnants of a wall, surviving to three courses, which is possibly the northern wall of the old orchard. Its structure was of slightly rounded sandstone blocks drawing comparisons to the 17th century southern retaining wall of the east terrace. Whilst a portion of this wall was removed to accommodate the new heating system, the base course of the wall was left in situ. A deposit of clay was encountered to the south of the Conservative Wall glasshouse and east of the Northern Range, which possibly represents the base deposit of a pond illustrated in the 17th century. It was also possible to identify two successive phases of alterations represented by reworking of levels and improvements to drainage. These correlate with the established history of the gardens as associated with Capability Brown between 1755 and 1764 and Joseph Paxton between 1826 and 1856.
