The c.4.2ha site lies to the immediate west of Aslockton, to the south of Abbey Lane. It comprises an irregularly-shaped arable field that is bounded to the south by a railway line; to the north-east and east by residential developments; to the south-east by allotments and to the east by open land. The area of the current Strip, Map and Recording exercise was located in the west of the site and was under rough vegetation, mixed natural species and the remains of a previous season’s crop. The Strip, Map and Record excersise was undertaken following a request by the Senior Archaeologist for Nottinghamshire County Council. The request required that an undetermined area surrounding an evaluation trench be opened and expanded until the full nature of the archaeology identified during the evaluation could be characterised. The expansion of the trench from the previous phase of investigation exposed and demonstrated the localised extent of a Lower Subsoil. This deposit was restricted to the base of a natural hollow located within the western area of the excavated area. Tree throws/ bioturbation would appear to be more concentrated within the hollow than elsewhere, and it would be logical to assume that the subsoil horizon was a result of the increased moisture within the hollow as well as the effects a larger number of tree-roots would have on subsoil. Evidence for the prevalence of trees in the current stripped area is in contrast to the ‘blank’ trenches excavated elsewhere in the preceding evaluation phase, suggesting a degree of localisation with woodland or forest within the development area. The archaeological interventions into tree throws did not produce any datable material and as such these features cannot be dated.
