Area A3, Castleward Phase 2, Derby. Archaeological Post-excavation Assessment (OASIS ID: wessexar1-328626)

Wessex Archaeology undertook an archaeological excavation on land off the corner of Carrington Street and Trinity Street, Derby. The work exposed the remnants of terraced housing comprising foundations, floor surfaces and other structural remains. To the rear of the houses, yard surfaces, outside toilets, drains and garden/property boundary walls were recorded. The housing was built in the mid-19th century and was demolished in the early 1970s. Overall the arrangement of the exposed remains matches the layout of the Site as portrayed on historic maps and photographs. Asbestos contamination prevented the investigation of the south-western quarter of the site. The finds assemblage largely represents mid/late 20th-century material and was largely recovered from demolition rubble. No environmental samples were collected. No further analysis is recommended on the project archive and the project results do not merit stand-alone publication beyond inclusion in a 'Recent Fieldwork in Derbyshire' summary in a forthcoming edition of the Derbyshire Archaeological Journal.
