Abstract: |
An initial written scheme was prepared in August 2017 (CgMs doc ref MF/23525/01), in compliance with Condition 18; this detailed a scheme of trial trenching and geophysical survey to test the veracity of a geophysical survey undertaken in 2013 as part of the outline application; and explored the potential for archaeological features within the site. The assessment found no evidence of archaeological activity within the wider site. However four trial trenches to the east side of the site, crossing the purported line of the Buxton to Carsington Roman Road, found evidence of a series of possible boundary features; however, no definitive dating evidence was recovered from any of the features. In order to definitively date the features, and to determine the origin of the linear earthwork extending from the south-east into the site, Derbyshire County Council’s Archaeologist determined that a scheme of additional works would be required in this part of the site. |
