Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Aston Hall Hospital, Aston-on-Trent, South Derbyshire, (NGR 4124 2872) by ULAS in April 2006. The work was commissioned by Redline. Sixteen trial trenches were excavated in order to assess the potential for the survival of archaeological remains. In essence the evaluation has confirmed that archaeological features exist within the evaluation area, concentrated on the western side. The evaluation would suggest that archaeological features are also likely to be present within the area of the existing hospital buildings to the north. The archaeological features comprised of a number of ditches, gullies, post holes and pits, a number of which were prehistoric and could potentially be associated with the nationally important Neolithic activity to the east of the site, and to later ritual and settlement activity running just below the 40m contour within 2km of the site. The site archive will be held by the Derby Museums and Art Gallery under the Accession Number DBYMU:2006-2. |
