Description

The Site is located south of Bawtry, to the south of the village of Scrooby and north of Ranskill. The Site is located on the east facing flank of a ridge overlooking the Rivers Ryton and Idle. The confluence of these rivers lies some two kilometres north of the proposed development area. The excavation comprised strip, map and record over approximately 4.9 hectares. Topsoil and subsoil were removed using a mechanical excavator fitted with a toothless ditching bucket, working under the continuous direct supervision of a suitably experienced archaeologist. The Site was excavated in linear strips with baulks left initially between each strip, which were then subsequently removed. The excavation of the Site revealed five ditches, three aligned north-south and two orientated east-west. The ditches appear to form part of a wider Romano-British field system with the two east-west ditches matching cropmarks visible on aerial photographs. Dating evidence comprised two sherds of ceramic, Romano-British Grey Ware, recovered from two of the ditches in the northeast section of the Site.
