Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned to undertake an archaeological evaluation of a c. 1.5 ha parcel of land located off Derby Road, Doveridge, centred on NGR 412290 334030. The evaluation comprised six trial trenches targeted on known geophysical anomalies. One trench exposed three pits containing cremated bone (identifiable as human in two of the features) with one of the deposits representing the remains of an unurned burial. No datable material was found in any of the deposits, but their form is prehistoric in nature. The features correlate with a partial/irregular ring-shaped geophysical anomaly and a circular mound discernible within the LiDAR data, and would appear to indicate a small (c. 10 m-diameter) round barrow or other similar prehistoric funerary ringwork monument in this part of the Site. Two large pits were also revealed. One contained medieval pottery and slag, and the other contained timbers and cattle remains. The pit with the medieval pottery and slag correlated with a pond-like anomaly detected by the geophysical survey, with the other lying approximately 5 m south of another pond-like anomaly, in this instance corroborated by historic mapping. A small assemblage of finds was recovered from the evaluation, with six sherds of medieval pottery (c. 12th-15th-century) being the earliest easily datable artefacts. There is little indication the Site contains deposits of high palaeoenvironmental significance. The archive is currently held at Wessex Archaeology's Sheffield office and will be deposited with Derby Museum and Art Gallery, under a relevant accession code, in due course.
