Abstract: |
Archaeological Research Services Ltd was commissioned by Mr Adrian Fewings (the client) to undertake a scheme of archaeological mitigation during enabling works on land at Hey Farm, Wardlow, Derbyshire. The work was in part fulfilment of an archaeological condition attached to planning consent (NP/DDD/0915/0881) for construction of two local needs dwellings. Archaeological monitoring, in the form of strip, map and record excavations, was required during the excavation of the foundation for the building and associated landscaping such as the new septic tank. The proposed development area encompasses some 0.28ha and is bounded by the B6465 to the east and Robyn Hey to the south. The site falls in the rich in lead mining activities area of Wardlow-Cressbrook and is positioned between two scheduled monuments which bequeathed as with various many waste hillocks, rakes, drainage soughs and mining structures scattered across the landscape. The archaeological works monitored the removal of the topsoil and overburden of an area c. 0.28ha in area. A total of seven archaeological features were revealed and recorded within the site. The features are related to the lead mining activities in the area enhancing our knowledge and understanding of the land use management, re-use and disuse of the site. This report presents the results of the archaeological work which took place between the 30th May to -16th June 2018. The work was undertaken by Alexis Thouki and Caitlin Halton Assistant Projects Officers at Archaeological Research Services Ltd and the project was managed by Reuben Thorpe, FSA, MCIfA, Projects Manager at Archaeological Research Services Ltd. |
