Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	United Utilities proposed the construction of a pipeline from Padfield Reservoir, Derbyshire to Harrop Edge Reservoir, Greater Manchester. The desk-based research revealed 66 sites of archaeological interest within the study area, of which three are prehistoric, nine are Roman, three are medieval, seven are undated and the remainder are post-medieval. They include 17 Listed Buildings; four included in the Gazetteer, two Scheduled Ancient Monuments, the Roman fort of Melandra (Site 25) and the medieval ringwork at Mouselow (Site 14). Out of the 66 sites, 16 were deemed likely to be affected by works. A walkover survey identified a further three sites of potential archaeological importance, one of which was ridge and furrow agricultural remains (Site 59), the other two undated earthworks (Sites 60 and 61). The subsequent topographic survey recorded the location, nature and extent of these three sites. Following the survey, the area to the north of River Etherow and Melandra Roman fort (Site 25) was subject to a strip and record investigation designed to determine the presence or otherwise of archaeological features. However, due to the build up of thick alluvial deposits and high ground water, an alternative of evaluation trenches, provided a more effective/efficient method. No archaeological remains were observed in the course of the strip and record or trial trenching. An archaeological watching brief was maintained during topsoil stripping activities, as well as the pipe trench excavations, in order to monitor any unexpected archaeological remains. No archaeological remains were observed.
