Abstract:		 Ten trenches were excavated in accordance with a pre-agreed trench plan and Written Scheme of Investigation. The majority of the trenches were located to target structures identified from mapping data assessed as part of a Desk Based Assessment compiled by ARS Ltd. On the rough-surfaced slope on the western side of the site a number of drainage features and a wide shallow ditch leading from a possible well were identified along with the foundation courses of a modern outbuilding. A 1960s/70s era bungalow occupied a level scarp in a central position in the northern part of the site. Mapping suggests that the bungalow overlies the footprint of Bleaklow Hall. Trench 6 (immediately to the north of the bungalow) revealed a cobbled surface that might represent a road/driveway associated with the hall or a yard surface belonging to an earlier building. On the eastern side of the bungalow a number of truncated wall lines were identified in Trenches 7 and 10 that might represent former buildings on the site, whilst the well preserved floor of a stable block was identified at the south-west end of Trench 9 that is likely to be contemporary with Bleaklow Hall. An imported levelling deposit of demolition material and refuse, probably originating from a nearby mill, was found in the north-eastern part of the site (NE end of Trench 9) and within a natural, marshy depression that ran downslope to the south and was crossed by Trench 8.
