History & significance

The Romano-British farmstead and post-medieval charcoal burning site located 570 metres north-east of Ladybower Inn is a multi-period monument reflecting successive phases of rural exploitation in the Derbyshire landscape. The site comprises archaeological remains dating from the Romano-British period through to post-medieval times, indicating sustained human activity across more than a thousand years. The Romano-British phase represents organised agricultural settlement and land use during the first four centuries of the Christian era, whilst the later charcoal burning activities demonstrate the commercial exploitation of local woodland resources in the early modern period. The monument's significance lies in its evidence for continuity and change in rural settlement patterns and economic practices across multiple historical periods in the Peak District region.
