Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by URS Infrastructure and Environment UK Limited to undertake an Archaeological Watching Brief during remediation groundworks at Dronfield Gas Works, Derbyshire. The archaeological monitoring identified limited structures and features associated with the mid-19th century retort house and quenching hut of Dronfield Gas Works, with levels of made ground indicating extensive modern disturbance. The only evidence encountered for specific processes comprises cast iron pipework to the south of the monitored area that may have been situated to provide water for the quenching process, or to extract produced gas to the condensers. There was approximately 2.7m of made ground deposits across the monitored area, corresponding in part to the historic raising of ground levels for the gas works in the mid-19th century, and in part from the gradual demolition and clearance of buildings since the 1950s.
