Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out on land at Howard Town Mill, Glossop between 31 October and 3 November 2011. Four trenches were excavated. Trench 1 demonstrated that the archaeological remains to the north of the development site had not survived previous invasive groundworks. Well preserved features from the 'Long Mill' building included well-laid sandstone flagged surfaces indicating the building was probably open plan in design. The building had an asphalt coated wooden floor (for damp proofing), elevated by floor joists above a flagged-stone surface. Later internal additions included brickwork partitions or plinths. The north wall of a former out building indentified by the desk-based assessment was also recorded though the purpose of this building remains unknown. Localised disturbance from piling is possible within the footprint of the proposed building. The excavation of service trenches though not deep, may also have some impact on the tops of some walls. |
