Abstract:		 An archaeological field evaluation was carried out on land at Oregon Way, Chaddesden, Derby (NGR: SK 388 372) by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) for Radleigh Group Ltd in advance of the proposed development of the site for new housing. The site consists of a number of fields of rough grassland located on the north-eastern edge of Chaddesden to the north of Oregon Way and to the west of Acorn Way. The land falls fairly steeply from south to north towards a brook. There was a possible large earthwork in one of the fields, which was believed to be a building platform. The Historic Environment Record for Derbyshire lists it as possibly associated with the Chaddesden Rectory for the Knights of Saint Lazarus, which is said to have existed somewhere in the locality. A geophysical survey carried out prior to the evaluation was fairly negative for anomalies that may have been archaeological in nature. However, the survey did pick up many plough furrows and also a possible large service pipe. There were also some anomalies that may have been linear archaeological features. A total of 7 trenches were placed across the fields. Trench 1 was placed across a possible linear in one field and Trenches 2-7 were placed across the field containing the possible earthwork and across the possible earthwork itself. The evaluation was negative for archaeological features. The soils were very thin on the southern part of the site, thickening as the land fell northwards, possibly due to colluvial build-up. The 'earthwork' is most likely a change in the geology at this point where the glacial clay, overlain by a thick layer of colluvium, meets the alluvium from the brook.
