The area of archaeological interest comprises of a farmyard with outbuildings immediately south of St Helens Church, of Vicarage Lane, Kneeton, Nottinghamshire. The site is surrounded by agricultural land, with the River Trent approximately 700m west and the A46 Fosse Way approximately 2km to the east. A programme of intermittent and continuous archaeological observation, investigation and recording was undertaken during intrusive groundworks associated with the site preparation works, followed by the investigation and recording of any archaeological features or remains that were revealed. The excavation of the foundation trenches for the four residential dwellings uncovered a sequence of made ground deposits directly overlaying reddish pink natural clay. No archaeological features or artefacts were present in any of the foundation trenches.
