Gamston Fields is located east of the village of Gamston and north of of the village of Tollerton, Nottinghamshire, NG12 4GD, c.5km to the south‐east of the city centre of Nottingham. The proposed area of development (PDA) consists of three areas located to the north‐west, north and west of Nottingham City Airport respectively. The first area straddles Tollerton Lane, with only the eastern part subject to trial trench evaluation. The eastern half is bounded by Grantham canal to the north and abuts the second area to the east. It covers c.6.1 hectares. The second area is bounded to the north and east by the Grantham Canal and abuts agriculturalland to the south and west, and aspects of Nottingham City Airport to the south. It covers c.54 hectares. The area is divided into two plots of trenching, a southern and northern range, divided by an area of unsampled land approximately 100m wide, extending north‐east/south‐west. The third area is located to the west of Tollerton Lane and covers c.30.1 hectares; only the north‐east corner of the third area, covering c.9.5 hectares, is covered by the archaeological evaluation works. Modern plough soil and overburden was removed by mechanical excavator using a toothless bucket (c. 1.8m wide) under continuous archaeological supervision, in spits of no more than 0.2m. Mechanical excavation progressed to either the upper interface of any secure archaeology deposits and/or features, or, if no such remains existed, the upper surface of undisturbed natural deposits. Spoil from the mechanical excavation was scanned by eye for anything of archaeological interest by the attending archaeologists, and, in some cases, raked through depending on the deposits encountered. In total, 145 trenches were excavated across three different areas and in four separate groupings, with one trench being a variation from the agreed layout featured in the WSI, and comprising an amalgamation of several others,following a site meeting with the consultant and curator, and the agreed requirement to investigate variation in the geological sequence observed between two areas of trenching in one evaluation area. Overall, the objectives of the evaluation were met; the vast majority of the trial trenches were opened in the locations agreed with, and approved by, the curator and consultant, and the works were conducted in a way which permitted any archaeological remains present to be identified and recorded. Those remains were rather limited, largely comprising potential post‐Medieval features and individual lithic artefacts or isolated small assemblages scattered throughout the various areas.The potential that such lithics were in situ and derived from a postulated cover sand layer was examined while in the field, but the evidence was found to not support such an interpretation. Instead, geoarchaeological observation of the deposits identified one or more colluvial layers above a sequence of head deposits, the colluvium collecting downslope of a slight ridge bisecting the site on a south‐west/north‐east axis, and within isolated riverine hollows. The lithic material was found to be mostly later prehistoric in origin (Late Neolithic to Bronze Age), and likely not in situ, but rather moved by colluvial action, probably enhanced if not initiated by relatively recent plough action. The only other features identified across the site related to post‐Medieval agricultural activity, in the form of numerous furrows, largely examined to confirm their origin, but not otherwise recorded in detail, as well as limited post‐hole features probably relating to field boundaries or other features of probable low archaeological significance.
