Abstract/Summary
Monitoring of topsoil stripping on a westward extension to the New Best Red Quarry at Kirton Brickworks, Nottinghamshire, was undertaken in June and July 2013.
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.
Cut features noted during the course of the watching brief comprised infilled ditches from the pre-existing pattern of field boundaries, traces of medieval or post-medieval furrows, and more recent plough scores. Unstratified finds included two pieces of worked flint and 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.
