Abstract:		 Ecus Ltd was commissioned by the National Trust and Derbyshire Wildlife Trust to carry out archaeological monitoring during remedial works at Duffield Castle Duffield Castle, Duffield, Derbyshire centred on National Grid Reference 434347, 344058. The archaeological watching brief was undertaken during the installation of a new information sign and bench within the scheduled area of the twelfth century tower keep castle, including sites of an eleventh century motte and bailey castle, an Anglian cemetery and a Romano-British settlement (NHLE: 1015109). The Site was also within the buffer zone of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site. The archaeological works were designed to comply with the conditions outlined within the Scheduled Monument Consent (Historic England Ref: S00196630) for the works. The archaeological monitoring was undertaken on the Site between 20th November 2018 and 18th March 2019. The archaeological monitoring did not identify any archaeological features or structures associated with the Scheduled Monument, and no artefacts were recovered during the groundworks. It is considered that the position of the two pits for the installation of the sign and the lack of groundworks required for the installation of the bench has avoided disturbing significant archaeological remains. The identified site stratigraphy within the two pits is considered indicative of their position away from the crest of the castle motte.
