Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by the Chatsworth Settlement Trustees to undertake an archaeological watching brief during geotechnical investigations at the Staveley Works Area, Staveley Derbyshire centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) SK 41551 74893. The geotechnical investigations were undertaken to inform an outline planning application to redevelop the Site. A total of 150 geotechnical trial pits were excavated throughout the Site. Of these, 30 were monitored during the archaeological watching brief, all located at the eastern end of the Site. An archaeological desk based assessment identified the potential for 19th century remains associated with the Staveley Iron Works in the western end of the site. The desk-based assessment showed that the eastern side of the Staveley Works site was turned over to industrial use by 1938. Prior to this, the land within the area monitored appears to have remained in agricultural use, with some clay extraction occurring in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The former course of the Trough Brook is recorded running through the site, along with a section of the River Rother. The trial pits demonstrated the presence of substantial deposits of made ground throughout the area monitored, measuring in some areas over 4m below the modern ground level. The natural geology was identified in eight of the trial pits at depths between 3m and 4.1m below the modern ground level. Remains assumed to the associated with the Staveley Works buildings were identified, although these are not deemed to be archaeological significant due to their recent date. The archaeological watching brief did not identify the presence of any significant archaeological remains in the areas monitored. The trial pits monitored all contained substantial depths of made ground which suggests significant disturbance in the area associated with the expansion of the industrial development of the Site in the early 20th century.
