Abstract: |
A study of the archaeological and historical resources of Old Bolsover was undertaken in the context of the preparation of a new District Wide Local Plan. A gazetteer of known archaeological sites and finds within the Area of Archaeological Interest included remains ranging from a small Mesolithic occupation site, findspots of flint artefacts and an enclosed Romano-British settlement to Bolsover Castle, a Scheduled Ancient Monument and Grade I Listed Building with medieval origins. Several medieval and post-medieval Listed Buildings also lay within the town, and a clay pipe factory had existed prior to 1839. One undated monument worthy of note was a substantial, though mutilated, bank and ditch defence. A medieval date was considered most likely for this, although Anglo-Saxon artefacts had been found in upcast from the ditch. It was concluded that the boundaries of the Area of Archaeological Interest were sufficiently widely drawn, although it was suggested that one area outside the boundary, comprising medieval and later parkland to the rear of the castle, should be considered for inclusion.
