Abstract:		 Nine test-pits were excavated to evaluate an area proposed for the construction of five-a-side soccer pitches at Derby Racecourse. The proposal site was located within the area of a Scheduled Ancient Monument containing remains of Roman pottery production, a Roman road, and cemeteries. The test-pits established that the ground-level of the racecurse had been raised to a lesser degree than had previously been thought. A deposit rich in charcoal at the base of one of the test-pits possibly represented an archaeological feature although the presence of complex archaeological stratigraphy was found to be unlikely within the proposed development area.
