Title Chapel Lane, Bingham, Nottinghamshire: Archaeological Evaluation Report
Author/Originator
Date/Year 2016

Abstract/Summary

A programme of archaeological evaluation trenching was undertaken in advance of a proposed development either side of Chapel Lane, Bingham, Nottinghamshire. A geophysical survey of the northern and western extent of the site identified a number of geophysical anomalies, most likely associated with a Romano-British settlement adjacent to the route of the Fosse Way, situated beneath the current route of the A46 and southeast of Romano-British settlement identified during the recent A46 upgrade, to the west of the Roman town of Margidunum. A total of 60 of the proposed 64 trial trenches were excavated, of which 52 trenches contained archaeological features and/or lacustrine deposits from the former Bingham Basin. The locations of the archaeological features can be broadly split between those west of Chapel Lane and adjacent to the Fosse Way (Romano-British) and those to the centre, south and east of the site (post-medieval and lacustrine). All archaeological features predating the medieval and post-medieval period were located within the northern and western limits of the Site, outside of the area occupied by the wetland environment of the Bingham Basin.
