Teams examined the fort, a round cairn, a lime kiln and lead mining remains.

The work built on a past investigation of the site, which was also National Lottery funded. It answered questions about topsoil, preserved remains, erosion and the best approach to long-term conservation.

Activities took place during the Festival of British Archaeology 2010, and information was stored with the Peak District National Park Authority, English Heritage and the Derbyshire County Records Office.

The project responded to significant public demand for more volunteering opportunities. Groups of all ages participated in the excavation, test pitting and festival events. Young leaders mentored Chesterfield College students throughout the production of a DVD; while younger school children benefitted from curriculum-based educational resources.

Other groups enjoyed tours, talks and articles. The project promoted intergenerational cooperation and social cohesion.

Fin Cop – Solving More Mysteries benefitted from thorough planning, consultation and strong partnerships. The dynamic project brought benefits to people and heritage. It also created a valuable legacy through archaeological findings, reports, training and online resources.
