Abstract/Summary
Monitoring of topsoil stripping on a westward extension to the New Best Red Quarry at Kirton Brickworks, Nottinghamshire, was undertaken in May 2014.
This watching brief forms the latest of a series of archaeological works undertaken since 2004. These investigations have found limited preserved archaeological remains associated with the land at Kirton Quarry.
No cut features were noted, apart from land drains and recent plough scores. The watching brief confirmed the observation from the previous work in 2013 that the ridge and furrow visible in the area to the north of Golden Hill Lane did not extend south of the lane. This provides evidence that the lane is on the line of a boundary that was in existence at the time that ridge and furrow agriculture was still in use.
Unstratified finds included pieces of possibly worked flint and shale, a small assemblage of pottery. The pottery was mostly post-medieval, but included single sherds dated to the thirteenth to fourteenth and fifteenth to sixteenth centuries.
