History & significance

This site, located 570 metres north-east of Ladybower Inn in Derbyshire, is a Romano-British farmstead with associated post-medieval charcoal burning features. The Romano-British settlement represents agricultural occupation during the Roman period, whilst the later charcoal burning activity indicates continuation of land use and resource exploitation in the post-medieval era. The combination of these two distinct phases of activity reflects the long history of human settlement and resource management in this upland Derbyshire location. The site's designation as an ancient monument recognises the archaeological significance of the Romano-British farmstead component and the archaeological evidence it preserves for Roman rural settlement patterns in the region.
