Description
The site lies c.1.5km to the south of the village, on Georges Lane which leaves central Calverton and meanders southwest towards the suburbs surrounding Nottingham. The site lies on the southeast facing slope of Ramsdale Hill, on land adjacent to Oakdene and to the south and east of The Grange. The hill has also been historically known as Cockpit Hill or Holly Hill.
The site comprises of 6.6 hectares of agricultural land, divided by the access driveway to The Grange, to the north of Georges Lane.
A total of 12 trenches each measuring 25mx2m were positioned to investigate the magnetic anomalies and the “void” areas identified on the geophysics.
Out of these six trenches, three contained features yielding Iron Age or Roman dated artefacts, roughly corresponding with the earlier excavations in the western half of the site. The central and eastern areas of the site were largely void of archaeological remains.
