Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Alps Group on behalf of Nestlé Waters UK Ltd to undertake an Archaeological Watching Brief and trenching exercise, during the construction of a new pipeline in Buxton between The Crescent and a proposed bottling plant at Waterswallows Lane (NGR SK 0574 7350 to SK 0804 7509). The eastern extent of the Scheme is adjacent to an area of prehistoric activity and the Glossop to Buxton Roman road bisects the pipeline route. The Roman core of Buxton lies at the western end of the route. The Glossop to Buxton Roman road can be seen as earthworks either side of the pipeline route, between Nunsfield Farm and St Peter's Road to the south. A 20m by 2.5m trench was machine excavated over the assumed line of the Roman road, prior to the start of the pipeline groundworks. No evidence for the postulated Roman road, or any other archaeological features, was identified and the road may have been removed by a modern trackway and ploughing in the area of the pipeline. The watching brief was undertaken between 17th October 2011 and 31st January 2012 and comprised the monitoring of all ground works; including the monitoring of a series of trial pits and sieving samples of topsoil along the route. No evidence for human activity prior to the modern period was revealed during the watching brief or from sieving the topsoil. |
