Abstract: |
In connection with plans for a new water pipeline an archaeological walkover survey of the proposed route was undertaken. The land concerned lay on floodplain alluvium west of the Trent/Derwent confluence. There was surface evidence for early channel movement of the Derwent and aerial photographic evidence for widespread prehistoric and Romano-British activity in the immediate environs. Surviving features mainly related to medieval settlement, agriculture and land reclamation. Also, important lines of communication crossed the pipeline route, ranging from the Roman road to Derby to the modern A6 and its medieval precursors, and including the Trent & Mersey Canal. It was recommended that further investigation of all the sites was warranted and should be preceded by appropriate studies of air photographic, documentary and cartographic sources. [Au] |
