Underground Electric Lighting in the 1880s
In 2008 evidence was first identified for 1880s use of electrical lighting deep underground in Clayton Mine at Ecton; further data was gathered in 2014 when archaeological excavations were undertaken. This lighting illuminated the main chamber, where there was a steam engine for winding and pumping, and also an adjacent side chamber where there was a further engine used to produce compressed air. Both engines are documented as installed in 1883/4…
The Archaeology of a Great Estate
Chatsworth
This paper reviews the results of an extensive field survey of estate land around Chatsworth House in the Peak District of Derbyshire, commissioned by English Heritage and the Trustees of the Chatsworth Settlement. Large numbers of archaeological and historical features were recorded for the first time in three contrasting Chatsworth landscapes, the parkland around the house and gardens, the surrounding enclosed farmland in the Derwent Valley, an…

Places Apart? Caves and Monuments in Neolithic and Earlier Bronze Age Britain
The recent growth of landscape perspectives has stimulated fresh approaches to the ways in which prehistoric communities attached significance to what we classify as topography or geology. Using evidence from North Wales and the Derbyshire Peak District, we argue here that the use of caves during the Neolithic and Bronze Age reflects a significant blurring of the distinction that archaeologists often draw between monuments and natural features
Gardom's Edge
Six seasons of excavation, survey and test pitting in the Peak District National Park, England, were conducted by the Park Authority and the Department of Archaeology & Prehistory, University of Sheffield, on a moorland rich in features surviving from Prehistoric use and occupation of the area. Investigated features include a Neolithic rubble-built enclosure bank, Bronze to Iron Age cairnfields and settlements and cup-and-ring rock art. From this…
The Palaeoenvironment and the Vegetation History of a Later Prehistoric Field System at Stoke Flat on the Gritstone Uplands of the Peak District
Excavation of a Bronze Age Unenclosed Cemetery, Cairns, and Field Boundaries at Eaglestone Flat, Curbar, Derbyshire, 1984, 1989–1990
Excavations at Eaglestone Flat, on the gritstone eastern uplands of the Peak District, have revealed a Bronze Age cremation cemetery associated with a number of contemporaneous stone structures built for ritual and agricultural purposes. Some of the burials were within urns, mostly cordoned. Others were simply placed in pits whilst still hot. A minority were deposited in direct association with small cairns, either placed under or within them. Th…
Bronze Age Settlement on the East Moors of the Peak District of Derbyshire and South Yorkshire
The Bronze Age remains on the East Moors of the Peak District are amongst the most extensive in the country. This paper discusses their interpretation and examines the pattern of man's exploitation of the region at this period. The distribution of the remains is far from random and concentrates on areas which are the most suitable for agriculture. Prolonged mixed farming in the most favourable areas is argued for. Similar topographic characterist…

Megalithic astronomy
Stone Circles and Megalithic Mathematics
Thom has proposed that megalithic monuments were planned using geometry and a unit of length — the megalithic yard. All data in Thom's data-sets not deriving from well-preserved stone circles are removed, so that these proposals can be tested on this one category of monument. The statistical evidence for the existence of the megalithic yard is found to be equivocal. The shapes of stone rings, a part from the true circle, can be most easily explai…

Field Monuments on Machrie Moor, Arran
A field survey of the moor provided evidence of a rich cluster of prehistoric sites, several newly discovered. A division of the mom was indicated, with some parts containing ‘secular sites’, suchas houses, walls and clearance cairns, and others with, ‘ceremonial monuments’, including stone circles and burial cairns
