In March 2015, an archaeological fieldwalking survey was carried out on farmland off Langar Lane, Colston Bassett, Nottinghamshire. The survey was undertaken to fulfill a condition attached to planning consent for the construction of a 10MW solar park on the land. The fieldwalking survey, which was carried out over a period of three days, recovered a small assemblage of worked or modified prehistoric flint, Roman, Anglo-Saxon and medieval pottery and post-medieval/modern pottery, roof tile and brick. A small flint core, probably of Neolithic date, provided the only evidence for prehistoric activity within the site. The distribution of Roman pottery, broadly dating from the 1st to the 4th centuries AD, largely conformed to a complex of enclosures and ditches in the north-west corner of the site that had been identified by geophysical survey. Pieces of dense, heavy slag, indicative of ironworking, were found in the same area, indicating that iron smelting may have been carried out at the settlement during the Roman or subsequent Anglo-Saxon periods. The Anglo-Saxon pottery, which was recovered from the area of the Romano-British settlement, dated to the 5th to 7th centuries and adds weight to the claim that the site may have been used as a meeting place in the Anglo-Saxon period. The suggestion was prompted by the old fieldname, ‘Thinghoe Hundred’, which derives from the Anglo-Saxon and Old Norse þyng haugr, meaning ‘hill of assembly’. Later material largely derived from manuring. A desk based assessment and a geophysical survey had taken place prior to the fieldwalking exercise. The geophysical report had revealed a series of enclosures and crop marks in the Southern part of the site, the report states that these are likely to date from the late Iron age/ Roman period. A series of lettered transects were established within the individual fields using a Leica Smart Rover GPS. Transects were marked out on site using temporary flags. Transects were aligned parallel to the longest boundary of the individual field being surveyed and were spaced at 20m intervals (i.e. 25 collection units per hectare). Transects were tied in to the OS grid and assigned identifiers. The fieldwalking team walked the transects and observed 2m-wide corridors centred on each individual transect as a basis for artefact collection. For each field walked, details of land use/field conditions, ground visibility and fieldwalking personnel were recorded on pro-forma sheets. The artefacts and archive from the fieldwalking survey, at the time of the report, were held by Cotswold Archaeology.
