The redevelopment site lies to the north of Station Road, to the rear of 20th-century housing fronting the road, and to the east of a small retail and amenity complex opening off the east side of the High Street.The northern boundary of the site coincides with part of the boundary of the Collingham Conservation and Historic Settlement Area (designated 1973). To the immediate north of the site are the large lawned gardens and a small area of woodland associated with Mayfield House on the High Street, an 18th century building of local interest. To the east of the site are the sports pitches of the John Blow County Primary School. The development zone measures approximately 0.6ha and was previously occupied by a large grassed playing area. The development project was divided into two distinct stages with the first area being the construction footprint of an all-weather playing surface at Collingham Football Club. The second area consisted of the redevelopment of Collingham playing field east of the existing shopping precinct. The first area was stripped using a 360 excavator with a 2m wide flat bladed bucket, and subsequently the site was bulldozed as part of the same stripping process. Following this, seven drainage trenches, orientated NNW-SSE, and an adjoining East-West drainage trench were excavated with a 360 mini excavator using a toothed bucket. Excavation of the associated soakaway was not monitored. The second area was stripped using a 360 excavator with a flat bladed bucket; this same machine was also used during the excavation of two soakaway trenches. Drainage trenches were excavated using a 60cm flat bladed bucket. During the course of monitoring, no archaeologically significant remains were observed in either area. A small group of post-medieval finds in the second area demonstrate ephemeral activity, but have left no archaeologically identifiable footprint.
