Abstract: |
The results obtained from the trial trenches have demonstrated that the site has considerable potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains. Whilst it is not considered that any of these remains are of national importance that would necessitate preservation in-situ, the remains are considered to be of regional significance, and clearly merit further, more detailed investigation in advance of the proposed development of the site. In particular, the remains of pits, postholes and linear ditches, all of medieval date, were exposed across the eastern part of the site, with overlying deposits representing a continuous sequence through to the twentieth century. An important assemblage of artefacts, including medieval pottery and clay tobacco pipe manufacturing debris, was also recovered from the trenches. An appropriate scheme of further archaeological investigation in advance of development will be required to mitigate the ultimate loss of the buried remains. The details of any further archaeological work required in advance of development would be devised in consultation with the Derbyshire Development Control Archaeologist. In broad terms, however, it is likely that a programme of detailed archaeological excavation of the eastern part of the site will be required. This may be coupled with a watching brief to monitor ground-reduction works along the Bold Lane frontage, which would be intended to compile a rapid record of the well-preserved remains of the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century cellars exposed within that part of the site. |
