Abstract: |
An archaeological trial trench evaluation, carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on land opposite The Avenue Visitor Centre, south of Mill Lane, Wingerworth, Derbyshire (SK 439699 366887). An initial ten trenches were excavated across the development area including five targeting geophysical anomalies together with five sample trenches in blank areas. Constraints included a water/sewer pipe to the north and north-east of the field adjacent to Mill Lane and an east to west footpath traversing the site. Subsequently some trench re-positioning was required. The Evaluation proved negative for archaeological remains. An additional trench confirmed the location of the former mill goit previously highlighted by a 2017 geophysical survey. Where sampled the goit was less than 2m in width, suggesting that it had been truncated by landscaping, perhaps associated with the open cast coal mining that occurred during the middle of the twentieth century. |
