Abstract:		 In March 2018 Archaeological Research Services Ltd was commissioned by the National Trust to undertake an archaeological watching brief in relation to a development at Hardwick Hall Estate, Derbyshire involving the installation of a wood-chip Biomass Boiler, a new rangers store building and heating network adjacent to Hardwick Hall. The objective of the archaeological watching brief was to ensure that any archaeological features exposed during the excavation works associated with the excavation of the heating-network pipe trench would be fully recorded and interpreted and that any remains disturbed would be recovered. The watching brief discovered extensive evidence of post-medieval landscaping. Made ground / landscaping layers were observed in several areas. The complete absence of subsoil on site likely constitutes evidence of removal of soils and flattening of the grounds. In the garden area behind the listed cottages on the estate, modern brought-in garden soil was observed to overlie a former top soil deposit, which contained butchered animal bones and 17th century pottery. In this deposit, evidence of butchery was uncovered. In addition to this, along the main road running north to south through the Estate, deposits interpreted as the original hard core foundations of the road were discovered.
