Abstract: |
An archaeological strip, map and sample was undertaken at Potlock's Farm, Findern, Derbyshire (NGR SK315289) under the direction of Phoenix Consulting Ltd, on behalf of Hanson UK, who intend to undertake quarrying operations on the site. A planning application had been submitted (Planning Reference: CM9/695/28); however, since Hanson UK had been granted permission to extract gravels in 1995 a subsequent Environmental Impact Assessment had identified that quarrying operations would damage known significant archaeological remains. A Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) was produced (Phoenix Consulting 2010) which provided a specification for the recording of archaeological remains prior to development. Initial works at the site were limited and only intended to ensure that gravel extraction had commenced no later than 15 years from the planning approval, being the 23rd November 2010. The strip, map and sample identified little of archaeological significance other than a probable group of heavily truncated medieval furrows and a small group of undated pits. The works do, however, suggest that there was little or no prehistoric activity within this corner of the site. |
