Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) at Bath Street, Derby (NGR: SK 35101 37077). The work was commissioned by Radleigh Group Ltd in advance of the re-development of the site for new apartments. The site once contained a silk mill, which had recently been demolished and the site was now covered in a demolition layer and a large spoil heap of rubble. The site lies close to the River Derwent and close to a medieval well and was once within the grounds of Darley Abbey. Therefore, there was the possibility of archaeological features or riverine deposits. A total of six trenches was excavated across the site revealing a demolition layer of dark silty clay and brick rubble over a possible foundation layer of orangey brown clay. This lay over a greenish grey silty clay alluvial layer, which lay over riverine sand and gravel, which showed through the silt in places. Apart from two modern structures associated with the mill, no evidence for archaeological remains was revealed in any of the trenches. |
