The site is located east of the A60 in the village of Ruddington, 6.5km south of Nottingham. Surrounded by residental development, the site lies adjacent to recent development at Lace Fields. The watching brief was involved monitoring the removal of topsoil from the whole site, in strips. The area monitored measured 0.42ha, up to 56m in width and 88m in length. The stripping of the topsoil showed the ground had been greatly disturbed by tree rooting. The site was not stripped uniformly to an archaeological level, only to expose the subsoil layer and no features were recovered or finds recovered.
