Abstract:		 Trent and Peak Archaeology were commissioned to undertake an archaeological watching brief at Churchfields Farm, Brailsford, Derbyshire on behalf of John Turkington. The work was carried out in July 2017 following the demolition of a lean-to extension and prior to the construction of a new kitchen extension as a condition of Derbyshire County Council planning permission 15/00759/LBALT. Churchfields Farm is a Grade II listed building situated to the south of Brailsford village. The earliest incarnation of the farm house likely dates to the early 17th century and probably comprised a timber-framed building with stone footings that remain partially visible in the existing cellar. The structure was significantly altered and extended in c.1800 including the construction of the current brick built farm house. Further remodelling took place in the mid-19th century including the construction of a small lean-to extension to the north-west of the main house. During the course of the watching brief the ground level was reduced by 0.8m revealing deposits probably relating to phases of remodelling of the farmhouse during the 19th century. No archaeological features were revealed. Foundation trenches for the farmhouse were not encountered indicating a reduction of ground level, probably during the construction of the lean-to extension in the mid-19th century. The ground level was subsequently raised in the late 19th century. The courtyard wall was further exposed during the scheme of works. It was built of poorly fired bricks, the surviving courses laid in stretcher bond on a foundation of a single header course and bonded with a lime mortar. The wall had been built directly on top of weakly compacted rubble. The bricks used in the wall are consistent with as mid-19th century date.
