Abstract:		 Trent and Peak Archaeology was commissioned by Tarmac to undertake an archaeological watching brief during topsoil removal prior to quarrying of Magnesian Limestone from the North-East extension of Whitwell Quarry. The site encompassed two narrow stripes of pastoral land around the edges of the 2004 extension. The quarry is located on the Permian Magnesian Limestone escarpment of north-east Derbyshire, immediately adjacent to the deep gorge of Creswell Crags. Caves and rock shelters flanking this gorge have yielded extensive evidence of Palaeolithic and later activity. In view of the international importance of the neighbouring site, topsoil and subsoil stripping were monitored continuously, with particular focus upon locating traces of prehistoric open-air sites and caves, other subterranean features and loess deposits that might preserve. Pleistocene archaeological or environmental remains. A suspected long mound was thought to be located within this phase of quarrying however it appeared to have been removed during the previous phase. The suspected mound had been previously investigated and found to natural in origin (UMAU 2000). No archaeological features, finds or loess deposits were encountered during the course of the watching brief.
