Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out at land south of Common Lane, Sutton on the Hill, Derbyshire, by Trent and Peak Archaeology on 22nd May 2009 and the 09th-10th February 2010.Located in the historic core of Sutton on the Hill, the area for development was a grass paddock containing a number of earthwork features. Centred at NGR SK 233 337. A geophysical survey of the site produced strong positive and negative responses.Research undertaken by local historians suggested that the site may have been the location of a medieval manor house.The first phase of excavation consisted of topsoil stripping for a driveway and parking bay area; later ground-works required the excavation of 49 small trenches and one electricity supply trench. No archaeological observations were made during the initial topsoil stripping and unstratified finds recovered gave no indication as to when the site may have been primarily occupied.  Observations made during the excavation of 49 trenches in preparation for the buildings to be erected on site revealed little evidence of archaeological activity.  Only two features were noted, however due to a lack of associated finds it is difficult to attribute a date or indeed whether these features were of anthropogenic origin.  |
