A scheme of archaeological monitoring and recording of the works taking place during the construction of nine dwellings and associated car parking, as well as the associated services off Regent Street, Beeston. The work was carried out between the 15th May and 11th July 2014 with archaeological monitoring by staff. The site was located on a plot of land between Lower Regent Street and King Street, Beeston. A total of 6 geotechnical pits were monitored archaeologically up to a depth of 3m below ground level. These were located throughout the site, in advance of the main construction phase. Two test pits, were also monitored at the northern and south-eastern ends of the site. In total, the foundation trenches of six plots were monitored archaeologically. The final four plots were not monitored, due to extensive truncation by Victorian cellars. The works revealed a number of Victorian cellars, which had truncated large parts of the underlying strata. Where this had not occurred, it was possible to observe a potential roman soil horizon with plough scarring of the underlying natural gravels. These deposits demonstrate that the upper valley slope of the Trent at this point was evidently reserved for – at the very least – agricultural production at times during the Roman period. This is a significant find and the furthest east that either Late Prehistoric or Roman period material has been identified in the Beeston area. The recovery of a large proportion of a late 3rd-4th century Nene valley colour-coat vessel suggests that more concentrated activity might also have been occurring nearby. No cut features were positively identified, so this find could represent evidence of nearby Roman settlement activity or possibly even an isolated feature such as a cremation or inhumation burial.
