Description
The Site is located to the north-west of the village of Elkesley, on either side of the A1 Worksop Road, and comprises an irregular parcel of land 6.1ha in size. The Site is bounded to the south by Coalpit Lane, and joins on to Cross Lane to the north of the A1, although a small leg extends beyond this. In the east, the Site is bounded by the existing junction between Coalpit Lane and the A1.
During the watching brief, the Site was divided into five areas.
A single degraded Romano-British field boundary was found. This suggests that a Romano-British field system once existed on Site but that survival is very poor.
