Abstract: |
Trent and Peak Archaeology was commissioned by RJB Mining (UK) Ltd to conduct an archaeological watching brief in connection with the development of an opencast coal mine at Codnor, Derbyshire. During the watching brief significant archaeological remains were only encountered to the south of Area 11, comprising 18 irregular shaped pits dug into the natural ironstone deposits. The pits measured between 3m and 4m in diameter. They relate to ironstone mining, their size indicating a small-scale operation probably pre-dating the working of the site by Benjamin Outram and Co., which commenced in 1797. |
