Abstract:		 In October 2008, ARCUS were commissioned by Maximus Ltd to undertake an archaeological watching brief on a site at the former Biwater Works, Clay Cross, Derbyshire, SK 400 643 (NGR). The watching brief was required to comply with the planning condition placed upon planning approval for the site (WSP 2008). The scope of works consisted of a prolonged sequence of demolition and remediation of the standing buildings pertaining to the Biwater works, formerly the Clay Cross Works. The results of the watching brief identified the survival of sub-surface archaeological remains pertaining to the Clay Cross Works. This led from the generalised watching brief to a phase of mitigation trenches, targeted specifically to provide a greater quantity of detailed information regarding the structures originally exposed during the watching brief. In January 2009, ARCUS were commissioned by Cavendish Estates to undertake mitigation in advance of demolition in order to effect coal extraction (Scott Wilson 2008). The specific mitigation areas corresponded to some of the focal points for industrial activity on the site; the main foundry building, or 'big shop' (area 1), coke ovens (area 2), the gasworks (area 3) and blast furnaces (area 4). This interim report is a brief outline of the results of the watching brief and the concomitant phase of mitigation.
