Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology Ltd was commissioned by Laing O Rourke Infrastructure to undertake an archaeological watching brief to mitigate the potential loss of archaeological remains during groundworks associated with the renewal of water mains between Wirksworth Road and Cumberhills Road, Duffield, Derbyshire (Figure 1). The renewal of the water mains involved the excavation of launch and reception pits along an existing main. Full time archaeological monitoring took place where the Scheme passed through the area of High Archaeological Potential as identified in the Desk Based Assessment (Wessex Archaeology 2011). An intermittent watching brief was carried out within the area of Moderate Archaeological Potential. The watching brief was carried out between August 30th and September 23rd 2011 in accordance with a Written Scheme of Investigation (attached). The remains of a cast iron pipe were uncovered which had been truncated by the existing water main. A small section of probable modern masonry and a drain were also identified within two separate pits. This document contains the results of the watching brief recorded and presented on pro forma sheets. |
