Aston On Trent 1, Derbyshire - Excavation Of A Round Barrow And Protected Cursus Land Surface
Loveday, R. (pp. 080-128)
A partially reported excavation carried out in the 1960s of an upstanding round barrow within the cursus at Aston on Trent, Derbyshire recovered two Beakers with grave goods and an exceptional large cache of grain from an underlying pit containing Carinated Bowl pottery. It also exposed a rare example of a preserved cursus land surface. The surviving material from the excavation is analysed here and the report completed. Radiocarbon dating points to more than one phase of grain charging activity, the latter of which may be broadly contemporary with the cursus.

Excavation At The Amber Valley Roman Hoard Site, Near Ripley, Derbyshire 2010-11
Palfreyman, A. & Ebbins, S (pp. 129-145)
In November 2010 Derbyshire Archaeological Society was contacted by Rachel Atherton , then Finds Liaison Officer at Derby Museum, when metal detectorist David Beard discovered a number of copper alloy 3rd century AD 'barbarous radiate' coins on land near to the rivers Amber and Derwent north of Belper.
The writers carried out an excavation around the findspot to examine the context of the hoard because Roman pottery and roof tiles had been recovered in association with the coins, so this was not an isolated find. Metal detecting 2m north of the trench had also produced five Roman sestertii, later increased to six, of Antoninus Pius and Faustina I to Marcus Aurelius (AD 138-180), and a Roman barrel-lock and separate lock-plate to the west. A Roman building was suspected.
This article reports on the ensuing excavation of the remaining coins and surrounding area, not on the hoard itself. The 'Amber Valley Hoard’s at present with the British Museum in accordance with the Treasure Act procedure. Any further information gained from their study of the coins will be forthcoming in due course.

The Excavation Of A 19th Century Pottery Kiln At Sharpe's Pottery, Swadlincote

The Excavation Of A 19th Century Pottery Kiln At Sharpe's Pottery, Swadlincote
Goodwin, J. (pp. 146-155)
Stoke-on-Trent Archaeology undertook the excavation of a 19th century pottery kiln at Sharpe's Pottery Heritage & Art Centre, Swadlincote. The archaeological evidence revealed that the kiln was a circular, multi-flued, up-draught type with a separate hovel that was probably used to fire earthenwares. The kiln firing chamber utilized a foundation design that has been observed in kilns at other potting centres, both regional and national. The remains indicated that, prior to its demolition in the closing years of the 19th century, the kiln had undergone repair and possible rebuilding.

The Vulcan Ironworks, Langley Mill
Dransfield, N. & Moore, C. (pp. 156-176)
Extant and former buildings associated with the Vulcan iron Works were investigated through a programme of historical research, building recording and archaeological trenching in advance of a new supermarket development at Heanor Haulage, Langley Mill. The Vulcan Iron Works was constructed by G. R. Turner in 1874 and produced world renowned railway rolling stock through to the 1960s. The investigations identified seven broad phases of development. The primary drive engine location, machine bases and presses were found, together with evidence for re-melting and forming of wrought iron, steel and possibly brass, suggesting that the Works may have had a cupola furnace for re-melting cast iron.

The South Derbyshire Manor Of Bearwardcote And Its Moated Hall: An Appraisal

Abstract
The South Derbyshire Manor Of Bearwardcote And Its Moated Hall: An Appraisal
Craven, M. & Dalton, R. (pp. 177-187)
The former manor and township, now Civil Parish, of Bearwardcote is located in low relief red marl country some five miles west of Derby. Given Bearwardcote's area of just 450 acres it has long ranked as one of the smaller named places in Derbyshire. Similarly its population, consistently less than 40 since the first census has also been small. It is arguable that settlement within the township has been on a limited scale for centuries. However Bearwardcote is not without interest as the capital messuage here cited was a moated manor house first referenced in 1397 but demolished in 1790 since when the moat and its interior have become overgrown and inaccessible.

The Old Hall, Scarcliffe Lanes

The Old Hall, Scarcliffe Lanes
Hutton, B. & Riden, P. (pp. 188-207)
The Old Hall at Scarcliffe Lanes is an L-shaped, stone-built, late 17th-century house of two storeys and attics which stands back from the main road between Bolsover and the Nottinghamshire village of Nether Langwith. Langwith Lanes is a hamlet of a dozen houses on either side of this road on the north bank of the river Poulter which here forms the boundary between Scarcliffe and Langwith. The only other house of any size apart from the Old Hall is Scarcliffe Lanes farm. The Old Hall has been divided since the early 19th century into three tenements, although it appears originally to have formed a single dwelling. It was sold as three cottages in 1954 by the Trustees of the Chatsworth Settlement and about ten years later the owner of one of the three carried out extensive alterations to the east-facing range. This led the county planning officer to issue a building preservation notice in respect of the entire building, which was added to the statutory list (Grade II) in 1966.
This article illustrate some of the difficulties of reconstructing the building history and tenurial history of a medium-sized freehold house and its estate, for which no early deeds or other muniments survive; how these can be overcome by a careful study of both the surviving fabric and a search for external evidence, the latter made easier by the development of digital finding-aids; and how the best results are obtained by attempting to integrate the two approaches.
