Abstract:		 Ecus Ltd was commissioned by the National Trust to carry out archaeological monitoring of groundworks at the Longshaw Estate, Peak District centred on National Grid Reference SK 26446 79908. The archaeological monitoring was undertaken on the site between 18th September 2017 and 21st September 2017. The groundworks at the site comprised the excavation of a service trench through the courtyard to the north of Longshaw Lodge for the installation of fibre optic cables. The archaeological monitoring resulted in the identification of the foundations of the nineteenth-century carriage house and a sandstone structure of uncertain function. The sandstone structure is likely to be a drainage feature and may predate the buildings within the courtyard as it was aligned on a differing orientation to the courtyard itself. However, the narrow dimensions of the service trench excavated during the groundworks means that a more thorough investigation of this feature was not possible. The general site stratigraphy observed during the archaeological monitoring indicates that the courtyard is likely to have been terraced in the past. The kitchen garden to the southeast of the courtyard is at a significantly higher height above the courtyard whilst the landscape to the west slopes down towards the Burbage Brook. No artefacts were recovered during the archaeological monitoring but it is considered that any terracing is likely to have been associated with the initial construction phases of Longshaw Lodge and its ancillary buildings.
