Archaeological evaluation trenching were undertake on c. 9.3 hectares of land lying between Platt Lane and Station Road, Keyworth, Notts, NG12 5LT. This led to agreement of a strategy of strip, map and sample across 0.14 hectares. The Site, which is allocated for residential development, was the subject of a geophysical survey in March 2018. The survey identified a localised cluster of curvilinear and rectilinear anomalies in the north-west of the site, which was interpreted as evidence of a probable Iron Age/Romano-British farmstead. In addition, the survey found traces of agricultural trends and former post-medieval/modern field boundaries within the east of the Site. The evaluation comprised 31 trial trenches representing c. 3 % of the site. The majority of the trenches were archaeologically blank; a total of 11 features were recorded, with most found in the area of the probable farmstead. It was then agreed to investigate, by means of a strip, map and sample excavation, a 1400 m2 area focussed on the probable farmstead. This work revealed a co-axial field system with a dominant north-west to south-east aligned boundary, two ring ditches, various small isolated features and a group of north-east to south-west furrows. Other than the furrows, the archaeological remains appear to be of wholly Mid–Late Iron Age date. A small assemblage of finds was recovered during the investigations, consisting very largely of animal bone and pottery, most of which derived from contexts within the strip, map and sample area, with a small quantity recovered from evaluation trenches. The assemblage is almost exclusively of Iron Age date. Environmental samples from the features produced small numbers of generally poorly preserved cereal remains, wild plants and charcoal. The environmental assemblage is indicative of settlement activities, including the latter stages of cereal crop-processing, and is consistent with the Iron Age chronology, although on the whole not particularly informative
