Abstract: |
FED3 Projects wishes to redevelop land adjacent to Nuffield Hospital, Littleover, Derby. The site is bounded by the existing hospital to the north, Hollybrook Way to the south, hospital land backing onto Rossington Drive to the east and Rykneld Road to the west. The work has been undertaken following a successful planning application (DER/11/11/01322/PRI) for the erection of a two storey care home on the site. Due to the possibility that archaeological remains may be present on the site (a possible roman road and/or associated settlement and field systems), a programme of trial trenching was requested by the Derbyshire County Council Development Control Archaeologist, Steve Baker. Three trial/evaluation trenches measuring 20m x 1.7m and one trench measuring 17m by 1.7m were excavated in a pre-set pattern, which was altered slightly to accommodate services. A further two trenches were planned for as a contingency, but the results of the first four trenches indicated that this was not necessary. The trench evaluation has demonstrated that no archaeological remains are present on this area of the proposed development site. Approximately 0.3m of topsoil and subsoil was present across the site, which was situated directly above the natural clay substratum. No finds or features of archaeological significance were discovered. |
