The proposed development area is approximately 500m southwest of Southwell minster, to the south of Westgate and north of the Potwell Dyke. The access road was stripped under archaeological supervision to a depth of c. 500mm below present ground-level and prior to the stone being laid was investigated archaeologically. The footprint of the two bungalow blocks as well as the area of the attenuation tank between them was excavated by a 13ton excavator fitted with a toothless ditching bucket in spits of no more than 0.10m, to the base of excavation or top of the archaeological horizon, whichever was encountered first. The watching brief helped to further reveal the extent of a number of features uncovered during the evaluation phase, along with revealing an additional linear ditch that corresponds with a former boundary feature identified on historic OS maps. This linear ditch was identified within the strip for the road access and within the section for the area excavated for the attenuation tank. Also within the section of the attenuation tank was another linear ditch cut, likely also north–south orientation. The edge of the ditch caught by the eastern end of an evaluation trench continued to the north-northwest through the site and was observed within the footings of the eastern building as well as within the strip of the access road at the northern end of the site. The alignment of this ditch is different from all the other linear ditches revealed on the site, potentially indicating a different phase of activity. Pottery recovered from the fills of the ditch dated to the 12th to 13th century, whereas as pottery recovered from the north–south aligned ditches dated to the 13th to 15th century. Even though these dates overlap, it is plausible that the ditch revealed during the most recent intervention represents an earlier phase of activity to that of the main alignment of north–south ditches that otherwise characterise the site. The presence of a bank along the side of the ditch suggests it served as a major boundary feature.
