Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by ECUS Ltd to undertake the archaeological evaluation of a 2.6 ha parcel of land located in Bradwell, Hope Valley, Derbyshire. At the time of the evaluation, the land was occupied by industrial units of the Newburgh Engineering Co., with the trenching occurring within existing buildings. Fourteen trial trenches were excavated, although it was not possible to penetrate beneath the modern overburden in four. All of the remaining ten trenches proved archaeologically blank, although the horizon of likely archaeological preservation had been destroyed by truncation in three. The potential archaeological horizon seemed best preserved in the west and south of the site. An undated peat-like deposit was noted in one trench; loose dark sandy deposits, of likely industrial origin, were encountered in the central part of the site, where they had probably been used to level up the site's natural descent to the east. The results of the trenching correlate well with an earlier evaluation programme: neither encountered any archaeological remains and both reported better preservation of the likely archaeological horizon in the west and south of the site. The results of the trenching also correlate with a borehole survey, with both investigations encountering thick natural deposits of mixed rocky clays and gravels underlying the site. The archive resulting from the evaluation is currently held at the offices of Wessex Archaeology in Sheffield. A bound copy of this report (with PDF/A on CD) will be submitted to the Derbyshire HER and Peak District National Park Authority HBSMR and the OASIS record completed, including an upload of the project report. |
