The site area totalled 68.80 hectares and was located immediately north of Muskham Wood. The site was divided up into 4 areas and investigated through the excavation of 226 trenches measuring 50m by 2m; the purpose of which being to determine the presence of archaeological features, and if necessary, enable the design of a mitigation strategy. Each trench was excavated under direct archaeological supervision using a 14-tonne mechanical excavator fitted with a toothless ditching bucket. The topsoil/turf was first stripped, and the excavation proceeded in level spits of no more than 200mm, until either the top of the first archaeological horizon or undisturbed natural deposits were encountered. Of the 232 trenches excavated across the site, 15 yielded archaeological evidence (c. 6%), while the remaining 217 were negative (c.94%). Activity was concentrated loosely to the centre and south-west boundary of one area, for the most part comprising of linears and pits. The majority of the features showed extensive signs of truncation likely due to the extensive agricultural practices occurring in the Area. A small artefact assemblage suggest activity on site ranging from the Prehistoric to the early modern/Victorian period. It is more than likely that several of the linears relate to post-medieval farming activities however without artefactual evidence it is impossible to specify which features are post-medieval. No fragments of post-medieval Pottery or other evidence were recovered during the works.
