Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology were commissioned by CgMs Consulting to undertake an archaeological evaluation in support of a proposed residential development application by Providence Land on a parcel of land off Willington Road, Etwall, Derbyshire. The site had been subject to a Desk-based Assessment and a geophysical survey, which identified a probable late prehistoric enclosure and linear ditch within the northeast corner of the development area. No other geophysical anomalies were identified. Following discussions between CgMs and the Development Control Archaeologist for South Derbyshire District Council a programme of archaeological evaluation comprising of twelve 30 m trenches was agreed which targeted the identified enclosure and 'blank' areas of the site, without any identified geophysical anomalies. The evaluation identifed four sides of a probable Iron age enclosure measuring c. 0.4 ha. An entranceway was identified within the western arm of the enclosure, with the results of the geophysical survey and cropmark evidence suggesting a parallel entranceway along the eastern arm of the enclosure. On the interior of the enclosure a pit and a group of six postholes were identified, which appeared to form a circular structure. The projected diameter of this posthole structure is c. 20 m, which is very large for a roundhouse and as such may represent some form of internal enclosure. No finds were recovered from anywhere on site and the environmental evidence isn't particularly indicative of occupation and this may indicate the rectangular enclosure was used for housing livestock rather than for settlement.
