Abstract:
In March 2016 Archaeological Research Services Ltd was commissioned by Henry Boot Developments Ltd to undertake an archaeological watching brief at the B and M store extension, Belper, Derbyshire. The watching brief was undertaken to satisfy a planning condition recommended by the Derby and Derbyshire Development Control Archaeologist (Planning Ref. AVA/2015/0651). The watching brief monitored all groundworks occurring within the area of a previous Methodist cemetery. The majority of the human remains were exhumed from the cemetery in 1994, prior to the construction of the B and M store. The primary purpose of the current archaeological watching brief was to ensure any further remains were recovered and appropriately reinterred. The groundworks consisted of the excavation of three 2m wide foundation trenches with a maximum depth of 2.2m. The remains of multiple individuals, along with associated coffin handles and nails, were recovered during the archaeological watching brief. All the remains encountered during the watching brief were disarticulated and located within made ground deposits. These made ground deposits also included a large amount of building material including brick and worked stone. The human remains had been previously disturbed by construction activity, possibly representing unmarked graves missed during the 1994 works.
