Description
In April 2016 Oxford Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs on behalf of Greenfield Associates Ltd to undertake and archaeological and geo-archaeological evaluation at the site of a proposed new quarry at Barton-in-Fabis, Nottingham. 20 trenches and 10 geo-archaeological test pits were undertaken across the site as well as a geophysical investigation to build upon a previous assessment. The trenches were targeted to encounter features identified in the geophysics results.
Based on the results from a geophysical survey and excavation the following features were identified;
• Round Barrow
• Residue flint assemblage including an early prehistoric leaf shaped arrowhead.
• Undated rectangular enclosure – ditches pits and holes
• 4 Iron age/ Roman (1,2 ,3,6) settlement focuses - intercutting ditches and gullies, pits, postholes and curvi-linear ditches. Charred cereals and quern oven remains indicating settlement as well as animal farming.
184 pieces of pottery were recovered and categorised by a specialist. The pottery ranges in date from late Iron Age/ Early Roman to post Medieval.
Environmental samples were taken, which identified charred cerals along with evidence of a quern and oven from one of the enclosures.
The report contains further information regarding the results of the geophysics, table of contexts and finds, it includes photos taken during the excavations.
