Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by MWH Global to undertake an archaeological Strip, Map and Record investigation in advance of the construction of a new wash plant, feed and discharge pipes, stock pile areas and access routes, to the southwest of the existing Sewage Treatment Works (STW) at Newthorpe, Nottinghamshire. The site is located south of the A610, 400m north-west of Awsworth village in the township of Newthorpe, 4km west of Nottingham city. The Site is currently an agricultural field with the existing STW to the north and east. The site is bounded to the south by an unnamed road and to the west by agricultural land. Gilt Brook flows to the south of the Site with the River Erewash located 600m to the west. The Strip, Map and Record comprised the excavation of two areas, one measuring 82m by 30m and one measuring 95m x 4m, to a depth of 0.4m. The Strip, Map and Record was carried out between the 24th June 2013 and the 1st July 2013. No archaeological remains were encountered apart from several modern pieces of metal. It is likely that the mid-brown clay encountered was deposited as backfill of the opencast mining/quarrying which is known to have taken place in the area.
