Abstract/Summary
An archaeological trial trench evaluation was undertaken across land at Flash Farm, Averham, Nottinghamshire.
To date, a desk-based assessment has been prepared and an archaeo-geophysical survey completed. The present document outlines the results of a recent trial trench evaluation. 47 trenches were targeted on geophysical anomalies indicating the presence of below-ground archaeology, together with cropmarks of suggested archaeological origin and archaeologically ‘blank’ areas to act as a control.
Archaeology was found across various parts of the Site. The main concentrations related to cropmark complexes in the south and on the eastern edge, along with further evidence of activity in the NE and NW corners. The main periods of activity identified were of late pre-Roman Iron Age and Roman date, although there was some evidence of earlier isolated Bronze Age activity. Many of the features identified lacked correlating artefactual evidence and remain undated, although some features could be dated by association. Parts of the site were archaeologically blank, where no past activities were identified.
