Images from Archaeological Works to the East of Linacre Road, Chesterfield, Derbyshire 2018

This digital archive contains images from a scheme of Archaeological Works on land to the east of Linacre Road, Chesterfield, Derbyshire in advance of planning consent, under the authority of Chesterfield Borough Council and Steve Baker, Archaeologist for Derbyshire County Council, the work was undertaken by Archaeological Research Services Ltd between August and October 2018. The scheme comprised four phases of work fieldwork commencing with a geophysical survey of the whole proposed development area which located potential archaeological features and apparently barren areas. This data was used to inform the second phase of works which comprised the excavation of 31 evaluation trenches targeted to assess the potential archaeological features and blank areas. Based on the results of the evaluation and in consultation with Steve Baker and Kier Asset Partnership Services Ltd. it was agreed to carry out two further phases of work in the form of a Strip, Map, and Sample excavation in the south-eastern filed of the Proposed Development Area and a watching brief focussed on the north-western and south-western fields.
