The watching brief was located in three fields to the north of Abbey Lane, in the village of Aslockton, Nottinghamshire. The site is bounded to the south by residential housing and a primary school. Residential housing also lies to the north and east, while agricultural fields border the site to the west. Within each of the three trenches, a 10 m wide easement was stripped of overburden. A 2 m wide pipe trench was then excavated in each. The three trenches lay across three fields. There was little artefactual material recovered from the site; the earliest datable artefact was a residual prehistoric flint recovered from the subsoil in one trench. In the absence of any chronologically distinctive features this item cannot be more closely dated. Agricultural soils containing pottery and animal bone dating to the medieval and post-medieval period respectively were also recorded in the trench, as well as a post-medieval brick post pad. Undated cut features were uncovered in two of the trenches, comprising pits, a posthole and a ditch. The proximity of these monitored trenches to a known site of Iron Age/Romano-British occupation indicates that they could be part of this activity, perhaps on the periphery, though a lack of any artefact or ecofact evidence makes any further conclusions difficult.
