Abstract:		 Wessex archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Limited to conduct a programme of archaeological evaluation trenching on a parcel of land centered around NGR SK 272 197 off Woodland Road, Swadlincote, Derbyshire in order to discharge condition 23 imposed on the planning consent to develop the land for housing. The work follows on from a previous desk based assessment and geophysical survey. The archaeological evaluation comprised of nine 1.8 m X 40 m trenches placed around the site by the client. The placement of these trenches was to verify the veracity of an earlier geophysical survey commissioned by the client. The trenches targeted areas where archaeological remains were expected to have survived and areas where the geophysical survey did not detect any archaeological remains. All of the nine trenches were in the northern half of the proposed development area due to the southern half of the area was deemed to have no archaeological remains surviving due to the removal of the upper soils when the adjacent open cast mine was closed and cleaned up. This was verified by a geotechnical survey carried out by Wardell Armstrong. The evaluation found that while there are archaeological remains preserved on site, all the archaeological remains were either post-medieval and agricultural in nature or modern waste dumping. This correlates the findings of the earlier geophysical survey carried out for the client. The furrows found during the evaluation follow the alignments of the various phases of ploughing indicated by the geophysical survey. An anomaly indicated in the geophysical survey report at the very northern end of the site does not survive in the ground. The other surviving archaeological feature found is probably a machine cut trench for the disposal of demolition rubble of probable Victorian origin.
