Abstract:		 An archaeological field evaluation by trial trenching was carried out on land at Sinfin Moor, Chellaston, Derby (SK 356 311) by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) in advance of the proposed Chellaston Business Park. The site is currently farmland and lies around 1km to the north of significant archaeological remains within the Trent Valley located at Barrow upon Trent, Swarkestone and Aston-on-Trent. The evaluation consisted of 19 trenches placed across the site in areas where a previous geophysical survey had located a variety of anomalies. The evaluation revealed very little evidence of archaeological remains. A number of tree boles and modern features were revealed in many trenches, particularly in the northern part of the site. The thin soils and layers of clay and peat suggest that the land was mainly bog and moorland in the past and may not have been ploughed until relatively recently. Many of the geophysical anomalies were shown to be changes in geology, field drains, old field boundaries or other natural features. The area lies within an area that once contained a late glacial lake. The geological survey of the area would suggest that the eastern side of the site may lie close to the lake's edge and therefore may have some potential for early prehistoric material.
