Abstract:		 In November 2011Archaeological Research Services Ltd were commissioned by Cathy Ridington to undertake an archaeological watching brief at 24 Macclesfield Road, Buxton, Derbyshire. The monitoring was carried out during ground works for the construction of a new dwelling to the rear of the house. The work consisted of the clearing of flowerbeds and scrub from the garden before topsoil stripping of the area. The excavation area was then reduced to the correct level for the excavation of the trenched to begin. An archaeologist was present for all of the above works, but it was deemed unnecessary for one to be present during the excavation of the trenches as the level of the natural substratum had already been reached. No features of archaeological significance or buried land surfaces were revealed. Systematic sieving of topsoil from the site recovered two prehistoric lithics from the topsoil. Only one of the two flints was diagnostic as a broken or snapped edge-trimmed bladelet segment. This piece belongs to a narrow blade manufacturing tradition and is likely to date to the Late Mesolithic period c.8000-4000 cal BC. These artefacts demonstrate that there may have been some form of human exploitation, either contemporary with or earlier than the Lismore Fields settlement, on this side of the valley. However, these finds alone cannot reveal a great deal about the character of prehistoric land-use at the site.
