Abstract: |
Archaeological Research Services Ltd was commissioned by Sherwood Homes to undertake archaeological evaluation trenching on land immediately south of Batham Gate road, Peak Dale, Derbyshire. The evaluation comprised the excavation of eleven trenches sited to assess the presence or absence of archaeological remains within the proposed footprint of development. The site lies in an area of archaeological interest both for the prehistoric and Roman periods. Batham Gate (HER 6508) Roman Road is believed to lie beneath the modern road adjacent to the development area. The presence of prehistoric sites and chance finds in the immediate surroundings suggest settlement activity in the general area since the Neolithic. Archaeological features were identified in six of the eleven trenches. These consisted of a ditch with a clay bank and a posthole (Trench 1); two ditches with associated clay bank (Trench 7); two relatively paths or hollow ways (Trenches 3 and 11); a large quarry pit (Trenches 9 and 10),probably associated with the possible agger of the Roman road from Aquae Arnemetiae (Buxton) to the Fort of Navio at Brough-on-Noe. The ditch with a clay bank in Trench 1 is undated, but similar features are known from the Neolithic to the Iron Age. |
