Abstract:		 Features recorded include two parallel ditches possibly defining the backplots of properties once fronting onto St. Mary's Gate. One was undated, the other was of 11th to 13th century date. Five pits or postholes spanning the late 10th to mid-13th century were found in association with these ditches. Following this phase of activity, a substantial deposit of dark earth accumulated over the Site, from the later medieval period onwards. A number of brick walls and drains overlay the dark earth, corresponding with structures present on 19th- and 20th-century Ordnance Survey maps. The artefactual assemblage recovered from the Site is of moderate size, and reflects disposal of household waste with some possible craft/industrial activity in the medieval period. Environmental samples typically contained high numbers of charred plant remains, with the assemblages again generally indicative of settlement waste and activities. No evidence of early medieval occupation was recorded, suggesting that the Site lay beyond the the pre-Conquest settlement at Derby. Pottery evidence reveals that the Saxo-Norman period marked the commencement of concerted activity at the Site. The dating and alignment of the boundary features on the Site support the supposition arising from work on the neighbouring Magistrates Court site that the regular nature of the property boundaries hereabouts is due to this part of Derby being established as a planned Norman development. At some point around the 13th century, activity on the Site appears to have halted; this may be due to the devastation wrought by the Black Death.
