Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	In May 2008, ARCUS were commissioned by WSP Environmental to undertake an archaeological buildings appraisal at the site of the former Stanton Ironworks, Stanton by Dale, Derbyshire. The site was examined in order to establish the dates of standing structures, the nature of their occupation, and their significance within the historical development of the site. The site, centred on NGR SK 472 387, covers an area of approximately 200ha, and lies to the south of the town of Ilkeston to the west of the confluence of the Erewash, and Nutbrook Canals Stanton Ironworks was founded in 1845 by Benjamin Smith and Son. Industry expanded to included blast-furnaces, a foundry, iron pipe plants, concrete pipe plants, coke ovens, a gas plant, electricity generators, ore refining plants in addition to numerous office, and employee facilities. The last pipe was cast on 24th May 2008, although parts of the site remained in operation until June 2008. The assessment of the 125 surviving buildings has identified four distinct clusters, with each demonstrating progressive and overlapping periods of expansion. All buildings within the study area are later then early nineteenth century, with the majority dating to the mid twentieth century, and all the nineteenth century buildings are located within one cluster. The assessment identifies 43 buildings that relate to the mid nineteenth to early twentieth-century works and for which further recording is recommended. In addition, a further 17 buildings are identified as buildings within which surviving plant offers the possibility of process recording.
