Abstract/Summary
Monitoring of topsoil stripping on a westward extension to the New Best Red Quarry at Kirton Brickworks, Nottinghamshire, was undertaken in April 2015.
This watching brief forms the latest of a series of archaeological works undertaken since 2004. These investigations have found limited archaeological evidence including occasional worked flints and sherds of pottery.
No cut features were noted, apart from land drains and recent plough scores. The watching brief covered areas on both the southern and northern sides of Golden Hill Lane, but there was no indication of the continuation westward of the ridge and furrow noted in earlier seasons in the area to the north of the lane.
Unstratified finds were limited to ceramics: thirty-eight sherds of pottery and two pieces of tile. The pottery is mostly of post-medieval or modern date, but six of the sherds date to the medieval or early post-medieval periods.
