A programme of archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken during groundworks relating to a commercial and residential development on the site of the former Old Manse, 2 Bunny Lane, Keyworth, Nottinghamshire. The site of the proposed development, comprising land of around 0.1ha, lies at the northern edge of the historic core of the settlement. The scheme of redevelopment entailed substantial reductions in ground level in areas west and south of the former Manse, to form level platforms for formation of the car park and new buildings on the south and west facing slope. Initial ground reductions were in the area west of the former manse, extending along the northern boundary and then south to Bunny Lane. An archaeologist was on site during all significant groundworks including works to underpin the north wall of the shared north wall of the manse/south wall of the chape The programme of archaeological monitoring and recording undertaken in conjunction with groundworks on the site of the former Old Manse revealed limited evidence of archaeologically significant activity, in the form of a small number of post medieval features and the ephemeral and undated remains of a possible metalled surface. The majority of the recorded features were located in the south/central part of the site, comprising a ditch of probable 18th century date a ‘cow’ burial of 17th century date or later (possibly an animal from the nearby Manor Farm recorded in documentary sources) and a pit of probable early modern date. A possible pit or hollow of soil recorded slightly further to the north produced pottery of mid 16th to 18th century date. One ditch may have defined a boundary prior to construction of the Old Manse, while one pit appears to post-date the Old Manse and may have served for rubbish disposal during use of the building. New information relating to the Old Manse included a cellar located in the western part of the building, presumably in the area designated for service related activities, and a well located a short distance to the north. A bricked up opening in the surviving wall can be identified with some confidence as door providing access between the Old Manse and the chapel. The feature is mentioned in documentary sources and would appear to have been infilled as part of modifications carried out in the 1960s or possibly slightly later. The scars of internal walls visible on the face of the surviving wall indicate the layout of the building prior to late 20th century opening out of interior spaces by the British Legion.
