A programme of desk-based assessment was undertaken to determine the archaeological implications of proposed development on land to the north of Wellow Road, Ollerton. A 2km area centred at the site has been assessed. The report identifies Probable prehistoric to Roman field systems and settlement re-mains have been identified in the vicinity and may extend into the site itself. Other features include; “Pre-historic or Roman Ditched feature, possibly a Roman marching camp”; “Cropmarks of ring ditches indicating that prehistoric to Roman funerary mon-uments and/or settlement remains may be scattered across the general area”. Examination of historic maps of the area indicated that the site has been under cultivation since at least the medieval period. A range of documentary sources were consulted to inform the study, local historic buildings are considered, a map regression exercise took place as well as a site visit with modern photographs. The report concludes that site is likely to host significant prehistoric – Roman archaeological remains.
