Abstract/Summary
Trial trenching, consisting of 5 trenches (between 8 x 1.7m and 28 x 1.7m) was undertaken ahead of the Worksop Bus Station works.
The proposed Worksop Bus Station Scheme is located off Newcastle Street in Worksop.
A total of 5 trenches were excavated to a maximum depth of 1.6 m below ground level (BGL). Three trenches were located within the existing car park and two more in an adjoining plot to the east.
In three archaeological trenches in the western half of the site, a low density of archaeological features was identified. These consist of a stone lined drain which corresponds to a field boundary observed on an 1848 map of the area, as well as an undated pit and ditch.
A small number of the trial trenches identified possible alluvial flood deposits and two palaeochannels at a depth of 1.3m BGL. The alluvial deposits may have geoarchaeological potential and could mask horizons of archaeological potential below a depth of at least 1.7m BGL.
