Abstract/Summary
Between November 2021 and January 2022, an archaeological evaluation and watching brief was undertaken on land at Nottingham Road, Southwell, Nottinghamshire. A total of seven trenches were excavated during the evaluation, followed by a watching brief during which nine geotechnical test pits were monitored.
Archaeological features were identified during the evaluation in three evaluation trences, including
ditches and pits of varying sizes. Evidence of a north-east/south-west aligned system of possible medieval or post-medieval ridge and furrow was identified in two of the trenches. None of the features encountered could be securely dated to any period due to the absence of finds.
A buried soil horizon covered by a made ground deposit was identified in the northern portion of the site and was also observed in most of the geotechnical test pits. However, no archaeological features were observed during the watching brief phase of the fieldwork.
