Abstract: |
In February 2019, Cotswold Archaeology (CA) carried out an archaeological evaluation and earthwork survey of Land at 61 Court Street, Woodville, South Derbyshire. The evaluation was undertaken following South Derbyshire District Council approving planning application ref: 9/2018/0323, for residential development of up to 72 dwellings and associated open space. The fieldwork comprised of the excavation of four trenches and earthwork survey. The archaeological interest in the site is derived from the postmedieval and modern buildings of industrial and agricultural function identified on 1831 and 1901 historic mapping. A LiDAR survey of the site indicated ridge and furrow in the central and norther portion of the site with linear anomalies in the south. The evaluation identified the remains of a former 'L-shaped' building, as seen on historic mapping, with an associated boundary ditch and track located to the south. No direct evidence of the northern industrial building was revealed during the trenching. Made ground, which included industrial waste, is likely resulting from the demolition, near complete, of the northern industrial building, a former Engine House. Only one of the anomalies indicated by LiDAR was revealed during the course of the evaluation, relating to a brick trackway leading to Court Street from the 'L-Shaped' building seen on historic mapping. It was not possible to test the other anomalies due to the advanced groundworks and services. The earthwork survey recorded the remains of the former ridge and furrow agricultural landscape which is likely to have its origins in the medieval period. |
