Description
The proposed development area consists of a small, flat parcel of land open to pasture measuring 1.5ha. It is bounded by properties to the west and Southwell Road to the south of the site.
Thirteen trenches were excavated, twelve measuring 20m x 2m and one measuring 12m x 2m.
Of the thirteen trenches excavated, seven produced archaeological features.
Traces of ridge and furrow orientated N-S were identified occupying the main body of the site, whilst in the N-W corner of the site an E-W orientation was observed validating the geophysical survey.
One large piece of Romano-British pottery was recovered from pit in one trench and a single piece of metalwork (possibly a similar date) recovered from the spoil of another trench with the use of a metal detector.
