Toton is recorded as having had two mills as far back as the Domesday Book in the 11th century. The area of interest is now situated within parkland that forms the Toton Manor Farm recreation ground and is managed by Broxtowe Borough Council. No standing remains of the site are visible above ground. The site lay within Toton Manor Recreation ground toward the western corner adjacent to a basketball court. Initially a large open area of 15m x 15m was excavated which was extended with a trench measuring 20m by 1.8m to the north west. A further area was later opened to the south of extension, west of original area. Another area was excavated within the original area to recover information about the pond. Topsoil was removed using a wheeled mechanical excavator fitted with a toothless ditching bucket. Mechanical excavation ceased at the first archaeologically significant horizon or when the absence of any such horizon was adequately demonstrated. Topsoil and subsoil was segregated in separate spoil heaps. Spoil from the excavation of archaeological features was stored on the subsoil heap. After the completion of archaeological excavation the material was replaced in reverse order of removal and the soil was graded to a smooth, even profile, free from local mounds and depressions. The depth and complexity of archaeological features and deposits across the whole site was evaluated by hand excavation. Soil samples comprising at least 40 litres per context or 100% of smaller contexts were taken for the recovery of charred plant remains, small bones and finds shall be taken from appropriate contexts. These comprised basal/primary fills of at least 50% of all cut archaeological features and at least 25% of all other anthropogenic soil deposits, including all deposits containing any visible charcoal or other carbonised material and all deposits considered to be of particular interest on the basis of artefactual content or other characteristics. The excavation identified three main phases of construction at the site. Possible evidence of a medieval mill once having stood on the site was recorded in the form of stone foundations and a posthole and beam slot. In situ timbers of uncertain function recovered from the mill pond were also dated to the 13th century AD. The scale and manner of the 18th century mill was recorded as were features evidencing expansion and technological advancements during the 19th Century.
