Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Enterprise Managed Services Ltd on behalf of Severn Trent Water to undertake archaeological monitoring during the renewal of a water main as part of a programme of improvements to water services on land immediately adjacent to the A6020, Hassop, Derbyshire (NGR 421351, 370886 to 421852, 370659). Nineteen trenches were excavated to a maximum depth of 1.15m below ground level within greenfields and within the verge of the A6020. Archaeological deposits identified during the watching brief consisted of a section of a dry stone wall of unknown date. This drystone wall aligned with a hedgerow on the north side of the A6020, indicating the hedgerow may be a modern reinforcement of a former drystone wall field boundary. A section of the Grindleford to Newhaven Turnpike road was identified to the south west of the roundabout on the A6020. This was the original route of the turnpike built in 1759, it later changed its position close to the current road to the east when the A6020 (Ashford to Edensor Turnpike) was built in 1812. The 1759 turnpike is believed to follow the line of an earlier lane which goes back to at least the early 17th century. |
