Abstract
Vicar Lane and Roman Chesterfield
Peter A Connelly
1 - 2
Excavations within the Old Vicarage Gardens of St Mary's Church in Chesterfield town centre revealed that the site lay directly outside the southern edge of the town's Roman fort. Six broad phases of Roman activity were identified. The first apparently represented foundation trenches for rectangular buildings, perhaps built during the construction phase of the fort. The final phase, represented by a single sherd of pottery, extended the Roman habitation at Chesterfield into the 3rd century AD, at least sixty years further than previously known. The excavations also revealed the remains of a medieval house and kiln, and more recent remains associated with the vicarage and its garden. LD
Revealing Medieval Chesterfield; The South Street Dig
P R Wilson
2 - 3
An excavation was carried out within an area occupied by early 19th century buildings, following an earlier evaluation which had recovered medieval and Roman pottery. The excavation revealed the chamber and flue of a corn-drying oven or malting kiln. The possible remnants of deep foundation trenches, perhaps representing a large barn associated with the kiln, were also noted. Pieces of timber from the kiln were dated to c1650. However, much of the pottery recovered from the site dated to the early medieval period. LD
St Mary's Gate; Excavating in the Roman Vicus
3
A small-scale excavation undertaken in advance of development at Spa Lane Vaults in Chesterfield revealed 19th century cellars, medieval infill and Roman features. The latter were very similar to features recorded at a site to the north in the 1970s, suggesting a continuation of the vicus habitation. A large probable ditch was also encountered, and it was speculated that this could have been the southern settlement boundary ditch to the vicus. LD
Alpine Gardens

An evaluation at a proposed development site within the area of the Roman fort at Chesterfield uncovered remains relating to the medieval and post-medieval development of the town. A segment of wall standing three to four courses high was also revealed. Initial study indicated that its building form was consistent with a Roman date, and if so it would be the first Roman wall to be discovered in Chesterfield. Roman artefacts which reflected the site's location within the fort were recovered. LD
