Derbyshire County Council commissioned ARCUS to lead a small community project on the site of a former engine house along the Sheep Pasture incline section of the Cromford and High Peak Railway. A team of twelve volunteers under the supervision of two ARCUS archaeologists excavated and recorded two areas within the footprint of the former engine house. Structural remains uncovered comprised the enclosed channel where the original chains that pulled trains up the incline left and entered the engine house, the original wooden tops of the channel where the chains left the engine house, two large sections of external walls, internal stone walls, and 3 structural pins within an internal wall.
McCoy et al. (Thu,) studied this question.
