Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by GK Heritage Ltd on behalf of The Wheeldon Group Ltd, to undertake an archaeological evaluation ahead of a planning application for housing at Outseats Farm, Alfreton, Derbyshire (NGR SK 42414 55540). The Grade II* Listed Building of Carnfield Hall lies some 180m east of the Site boundary. It has been noted that the Hall is of 16th to 17th-century origin, with later remodelling and place name evidence from the 15th century, suggesting an earlier medieval date. The medieval boundary of the estate is unknown. The evaluation trenches targeted geophysical anomalies within the Site. No archaeological features were identified, and the geophysical anomalies were likely to be the result of natural outcrops of the underlying mudstone, or depressions within that mudstone. The only natural feature of note was a shallow depression or pond. There is no archaeological evidence for settlement within the Site, and it is likely that the Site formed scrub land prior to the construction of the modern day farm. It remains unknown whether the Site lay within the boundary of the medieval Carnfield Hall estate. |
