Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out at land off Gadley Lane, River''s Vale, Buxton, Derbyshire, between March 2004 and October 2005. The site was thought to have potential for the presence of archaeological remains and artifacts due to its close proximity to Mesolithic and Neolithic archaeological sites. It was also possible that Roman remains might be present, as Buxton (Aquae Arnemetiae) was an important spa town during this period. No archaeologial features, deposits or significant finds were recorded in the foundation trenches for the new buildings. This may indicate that either the site was not the focus of human activity, earlier than the 19th century, or disturbance caused by the previous use of the site as a depot had removed any evidence of earlier activity. Deep alluvial deposits were recorded during the watching brief and these may be associated with former watercourses or ponds. |
