An archaeological watching brief was carried out by Archaeology England Ltd at the request of Heritage Archaeology Ltd. The work is associated with the proposed developments at The Poplars, Village Street, Edwalton, Nottingham, NG12 4AB. Archaeology England Ltd monitored the proposed development in accordance with guidance provided by Nottinghamshire County Council’s Heritage Community Liaison Officer. The watching brief monitored the excavation of six footing trenches located within the PDA. The ground had been previously disturbed to a depth of up to 2m across the site during the construction of the existing basement and house in the 20th century. No intact archaeological deposits prior to this date were recorded during the watching brief.
