Abstract:		 Archaeological monitoring of the ground reduction and drainage trench excavation revealed a number of phases of deposition and activity on the site which started with the accumulation of natural deposits and ended with the laying of modern surfaces associated with the development of the hospital complex. Natural deposits were exposed in all areas monitored and comprised mid Pleistocene glaciofluvial materials, which are known to have been extant across the hospital site. The varying upper elevations of the deposits have indicated the local natural slope upwards of the site from west to east, and also the extensive truncation resulting from development of the hospital complex and The Derwent Centre in particular. Truncated natural deposits were directly overlain by made ground of varying thickness and composition, which appears to have been deposited at the time of the development of the hospital development and the extensive truncation of underlying deposits. The stratigraphic sequence was capped by areas of imported modern topsoil to provide grassed areas and varying types of hard standing to provided surfaces for pedestrian and vehicular access. Overall the watching brief has shown a natural topography significantly altered by recent hospital building development, overlain by deposits laid down during development and capped by modern hard and soft surfaces.
