| Abstract: |
A watching brief was undertaken during topsoiling operations associated with the construction of the Derby Southern Bypass. The area was thought to lie at or near the postulated northern end of the cursus. It was shown that the area to either side of Weigh Lane had suffered considerable disturbance, possibly associated with the recorded tramway from the Atinhill plasterpits to the wharf on the canal. The soil under the topsoil was found to be thick and masked archaeological features indicating that extant features may have survived beneath the level stripped. No features which could be identified with the cursus were recorded although one ditch was located running roughly parallel to the cursus. Artefacts of Iron Age Romano-British date were recovered from the upper fill of the ditch. [AIP] |
