Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by MWH Global to carry out a programme of archaeological evaluation trenching at the site of a new sewage treatment works (STW) at Longnor, Staffordshire, (NGR 408915, 364603). The Site is located within the Peak District National Park. An earthwork survey was carried out in September 2010 and updated in October 2011 to inform development proposals. Planning permission was granted for the development with a condition for further archaeological investigation. A programme of archaeological trial trenching was agreed in order to establish the archaeological significance of earthworks at the Site. The majority of the possible earthworks targeted by the evaluation were found to be formed of sterile, probably re-deposited, natural clays. The earthworks in Trenches 4, 5 and 6 are most likely the result of the re-deposition of material during the canalisation of the River Manifold to the immediate south. One of the previously identified earthworks, in Trench 7, was shown to be the continuation of an extant field boundary to the north. The only deposit of potential interest was an undated peaty deposit observed below a sterile clay earthwork ridge in Trenches 5 and 6. This may be a remnant of buried soil pre-dating the earthworks or be associated with a former watercourse to the north. Artefacts recovered, including a mixed assemblage of post-medieval/ modern pottery, were from topsoil and modern disturbance only. No archaeological features or deposits of interest were found in the trenches (1, 2 and 8) targeting blank areas.
