Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology carried out an archaeological watching brief on groundworks related to a water main upgrade near Hulland Ward, Derbyshire Dales. Two areas of scheduled earthworks in the vicinity of the monitored water main upgrade relate to medieval settlement and farming. One pit was excavated towards the southern portion of the scheme, but remains undated, as no finds were recovered. Evidence for bioturbation in the form of soil staining was noted in the southern part of the scheme; one example was excavated and found to contain post-medieval and modern finds (brick/tile and clay tobacco pipe). The watching brief successfully met its principal aims, but due to a lack of archaeological results it was not possible to contribute to the research objectives concerning medieval settlement that had been identified as being potentially relevant to the scheme. The apparent lack of archaeological features suggests that, during this period, the land would have formed part of the agricultural hinterland of the nearby scheduled settlements. Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Amey Consulting, on behalf of Severn Trent Water, toundertake an archaeological watching brief on groundworks related to a water main upgrade nearHulland Ward, Derbyshire Dales.The monitored works consisted of topsoil removal from a 15 m-wide working width along thecontinuous 2.5 km-long, 20 m-wide easement of the water main upgrade. The scheme extendedfrom Pinfold Lane (NGR 423618 345679) in the south-west to the A517 near Hulland Ward (NGR424981 347253) in the north-east.Two areas of scheduled earthworks in the vicinity of the monitored water main upgrade relate tomedieval settlement and farming.One pit was excavated towards the southern portion of the scheme, but remains undated, as nofinds were recovered. Evidence for bioturbation in the form of soil staining was noted in the southernpart of the scheme; one example was excavated and found to contain post-medieval and modernfinds (brick/tile and clay tobacco pipe). No evidence clearly linked with the nearby scheduled remainswas discovered.The watching brief successfully met its principal aims, but due to a lack of archaeological results itwas not possible to contribute to the research objectives concerning medieval settlement that hadbeen identified as being potentially relevant to the scheme.
