This report presents the results of an archaeological watching brief undertaken by Ecus Ltd on behalf of Paul Harris during the topsoil strip of a site off of Doncaster Road, Oldcotes Nottinghamshire. The report states that “The archaeological watching brief recorded no features of archaeological significance. The only features of archaeological origin comprised three features which are interpreted as having derived from the removal of trees forming part of a former tree plantation associated with the twentieth century Silverdene House. The NCC HER documented a trackway or mound at the site, the watching brief found that any such likely features must have been destroyed during a previous phase of groundworks from an earlier aborted planning application for the site – the report goes on to say that the original mound may have been spoil associated with the construction of Silverdene House, Quarry or Limekilns in the area
