Abstract: |
A watching brief was undertaken during construction of a water pipeline, which crossed the line of the Derby-Rocester Roman road and earthworks associated with the shrunken medieval village of Mackworth. Earthworks consisting of the remains of a ridge and furrow field system, and a complex which included ridge and furrow, lynchets and a linear hollow were recorded prior to the comencement of construction. The hollow may have preserved an earlier road-line pre-dating the turnpiking of the Derby-Ashbourne road. During the watching brief, only features associated with the enclosure-period fields and a number of parallel post-enclosure drainage features were observed. Post-medieval material was abundant, having presumably been brought onto the fields by manuring, but no other artefacts were recovered. No surviving features associated with the Roman road were found. [Au(abr)] |
