Title A1 Elkesley Junction Improvements, Nottinghamshire: Archaeological Evaluation and Watching Brief Report
Author/Originator
Date/Year 2015

Abstract/Summary

This report summarises the results of both the evaluation and the watching brief that was undertaken in advance of the A1 junction improvements at Elkesley, Nottinghamshire. A single degraded Romano-British field boundary was found. This suggests that a Romano-British field system once existed on Site but that survival is very poor. A patch of parallel post-medieval gullies was also recorded. The presence of an unstratified prehistoric flint and three sherds of medieval pottery from the topsoil along with the Romano-British ditch demonstrate a long period of use of the Site. However, deep ploughing has occurred, which likely removed any archaeology that may once have been present.
