Abstract: |
In November 2013 Archaeological Research Services Ltd was commissioned by J and K Developments Ltd to undertake an archaeological watching brief at White House Wall, Darley Abbey Park, Derby, Derbyshire. The scheme of works related to the replacing of the retaining wall at The White House, 2 New Road, Darley Abbey Park, Derby. The archaeological watching brief monitored the excavation of five trenches approximately 1m by 0.5m in size abutting the new wall construction, which had been built upon the foundations of the previous wall. Below the topsoil layer two deposits of made ground were discovered, probably relating to the leveling of the garden of the White House and resulting construction of the retaining wall. The natural substratum was encountered at approximately 1.5m below ground level. No archaeologically significant finds, features or buried land surfaces were found. |
