The site comprises two arable fields separated by a partial hedgerow. To the north and east lie further fields and the A1, to the west is the business park and industrial estate and to the south lies the Beacon Hill Conservation Park, a former quarry. It covers around 15.6 hectares. A total of thirty 50m x 1.8m trenches were excavated during the course of the evaluation within two large arable fields. The land at Jessop Way, Newark-on-Trent had low potential for archaeological remains, and the evaluation carried out on the site has confirmed this assessment. There are a few known findspots in the area, and limited investigations to the north- west of the site has revealed Iron Age remains. A remains of a Civil War defensive ditch and bank structure (the first line of circumvallation) is located to the north-east of the site, close to the north-western boundary, but was not thought to be located within the site. A few anomalies were revealed but were either modern in date, natural features or previous disturbances from other ground surveys. Five trenches contained features interpreted as the remains of former post-medieval field boundaries, running from north-west to south-east across the site. A plan of the trenches imposed on the 1900 second edition OS map, show the features as lying along the line of the former hedgelines shown on the early OS maps from the 1880s, until the 1960s where they are shown as mostly removed. The early maps also show two ponds on the site; one located towards the north of the site, another, surrounded with marshy ground, to the west, which still remains as a hollow. The backfilled northern pond was revealed during the evaluation. Four trenches lay partially within the area that had formally been quarried for gypsum during the 20th century. All four trenches contained made ground consisting of quarry backfill at the southern end. Nearly all the excavated trenches contained the remains of medieval furrows, mainly running north-west to south-east across both fields. Furrows within four trenches contained medieval and post-medieval pottery, likely to be from the accumulation of manuring debris. The results of the evaluation broadly reflect the results of the geophysical survey. The survey clearly shows the quarried area, plus several linear features running broadly north-west to south-east, which represent the former hedgelines and some of the larger furrows. More regular linear features, running east to west in the first field, and north-east to south-west or north to south in the second field are likely to represent the field drain system across the site, although they do not show the complete systems, which are numerous, running north to south and east to west within the first field, and north to south, north-east to south-west and east to west in the second field. Those on the geophysical survey are most likely the later systems, installed after the land was remodelled after the quarry was infilled. A small group of stake-holes were revealed and excavated at the north-eastern end of a trench. These lay in a row aligned north-west to south-east and cut into the subsoil. No dating was retrieved from the fills but as they were cut into the subsoil (the latter contained a small fragment of clay pipe), they are therefore likely to be post-medieval or modern in date. They correspond to the alignment of the furrows, the former hedge line and the fields themselves.
