Abstract: |
ARCUS were commissioned by Severn Trent Water plc to undertake an archaeological watching brief on a pipeline route on Middleton Common, Derbyshire. The route of the pipeline ran from Green Lane across open pasture to an underground reservoir 0.5km south of Arbor Low, a Neolithic monument. The first stage of the watching brief comprised a photographic record of the sections of drystone wall due to be demolished to allow access for pipeline construction. The second phase entailed archaeological monitoring of the pipeline construction process. The monitored works did not impact upon any other structures or preserved archaeological features, although three flint objects were recovered from the subsoil and subjected to analysis by a specialist. A tentative Mesolithic date was ascribed to one of the flints. |
