Abstract: |
Trent and Peak Archaeology was commissioned by Mr J. Devaney to undertake an archaeological watching brief at 114 Belper Road, Derby, DE1 3EQ (National Grid Reference SK 34908 37548) (Fig. 1). The work comprised archaeological monitoring and recording during the excavation of a c.0.7m deep trench prior to the construction of a single story rear extension to the aforementioned dwelling as part of Derby City Council Planning Application DER/11/15/01434. The site is located within the Strutts Park Roman Fort Conservation Area (designated, 06/11/1991) and within an Archaeological Alert Area as defined by the City of Derby Local Plan (2017), where groundworks had the potential to impact archaeological deposits and features of Romano-British or Medieval date. Previous investigations in the Belper Road area have shown that significant Roman deposits can survive close to modern ground surfaces, particularly in gardens or undeveloped areas. Several small scale excavations in adjacent properties south of the PDA have recovered scatter finds including Samian finewares, structural remains and isolated ditched features dating to the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. Groundworks did not reach a depth sufficient to impact upon any sub-surface archaeological remains. Archaeological remains may survive at the site at depths below that of the current development. No archaeological finds, features or deposits were recovered during the course of this watching brief. |
