Description
Strip, map, and sample ahead of the construction of a new school block of an area 150m x 300m to the east of Newark Academy within an area used as sports fields. Three areas were stripped and recorded; a half circular area at the north of the site, a sub rectangular area at the east of the site and a reverse L shaped piece along the east and south of the former astroturf pitch at the centre of the site. In total eight linear features were observed, and these can be interpreted as the remains of 19th century furrows. Four features observed in Area 2 at the east of the site appear to be modern. These features lie along the route of a removed tree line and are thought to be related to this. A furrow also observed in this area runs parallel with those in Area 1 and they are thought to be contemporary. Furrows in Area 3 are also thought to be related. A shallow ditch in Area 3, orientated north east-south west contained modern artefacts
