The watching brief was to be conducted during the groundworks undertaken in advance of the construction of flood defences which involved intrusive groundworks on land situated on the periphery of Chilwell Manor Golf Course. No Archaeological features were observed during the watching brief. The intrusive groundworks did not penetrate below the interface of the top soil and the subsoil. Finds from the disturbed surface of the subsoil comprised pottery sherds and metalwork of the late 19th/early 20th century, and a single worked flint of later prehistoric date
