Abstract:		 ARCUS were commissioned to undertake a desk-based assessment of land near Wormhill, Derbyshire, in relation to the extension of Old Moor Quarry. The land is located within an area primarily characterized by fields enclosed by dry stone walls of early nineteenth century date. Cartographic evidence and aerial photos indicates that these boundaries have fossilised elements of earlier Medieval and Post-Medieval strip fields. Known archaeological finds are restricted to a Romano-British pot sherd, a circular beehive limekiln of Post-Medieval date and an undated lynchet apparently forming two sides of a square or rectangle. Other minor features are suggestive of historic quarrying for limestone and lead mining. This area does not appear to have been extensively impacted by past land use and may thus retain the potential for the survival of previously unknown sub-surface archaeological deposits.
