Wessex Archaeology undertook a strip, map and record (SMR) excavation during groundworks related to residential development at Broomy Farm, Woodville, Derbyshire. The SMR area occupied 0.27 ha and was centred on 431560 320360. A total 17 clay extraction pits presumed related to the nearby pottery industry were recorded. To their south-east an arrangement of six parallel furrows appeared to peter out to the south-west . The artefactual evidence suggests the pits are likely to be broadly contemporary with each other and were probably infilled in the 19th-20th century. The backfill contained quantities of local pottery, including mis-fired sherds, and kiln furniture, the presence of which indicates the material derived directly from one or more of the former pottery works known nearby. The pottery assemblage preserves a 'snapshot' of some of the types of wares produced during the 19th and 20th centuries, and has some limited potential to explore the regional research objective of developing understanding of the manufacture of pottery.
