Archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken during groundworks for the construction of one dwelling with an attached garage, on land fronting onto 9 Main Street, Farndon, Nottinghamshire NG24 3SA. An archaeological desk-based assessment has previously been undertaken for the site and indicated a high archaeological potential, with evidence of later prehistoric activity in the area which lies close to the Fosse Way, a Romano-British road that runs between Lincoln and Exeter. Situated approximately 300m to the southeast of the site a number of Late Upper Palaeolithic flint scatters were recorded during the construction of the new A46 in 2009, highlighting the potential for late Pleistocene archaeology in the vicinity. Further evidence of Anglo-Saxon, medieval and post-medieval activity has also been recorded within the area. Archaeological evaluation by trenching however showed that there was only a limited potential for remains of likely post-medieval date to be encountered. The scheme of works required the monitoring and recording of an extensive plot for the footings for a new dwelling and garage. The monitoring revealed a topsoil and ground raising deposit containing modern building debris, suggesting the area had been used as a dump and wasteland. A large circular undated pit containing rough unhewn limestone blocks, possibly from a former nearby structure, was also discovered.
