An archaeological and geoarchaeological evaluation of a 24 ha parcel of land located at Lambley Lane in Lowdham, Nottinghamshire. The geoarchaeological evaluation and trial trenching demonstrate a high level of stratigraphic complexity. Individual trenches sometimes contained multiple archaeological horizons at different stratigraphic positions due to a complex sequence in which colluvial, alluvial and Head deposits are present across the site. Features of Iron Age, Romano-British and medieval date were sealed by layers of colluvium and/or alluvium, with even recently removed post-medieval inclosure boundaries sometimes sealed below colluvium. Deposition of colluvium has therefore affected the site probably since at least the Iron Age and is probably ongoing today. The chronology of alluvial depositional events may be even broader. Romano-British pottery and Neolithic/Bronze Age worked flints were recovered from alluvial layers. A total of twelve flint flakes were recovered during the evaluation. These could only be dated broadly to the Neolithic/Bronze Age and are likely to be residual; no features or in situ remains were identified from this period. Features ranged in date from the Iron Age to the post-medieval period, with a focus on the Iron Age and Romano-British periods. Some features were securely dated by the presence of pottery; others were probably of late prehistoric/Romano-British date on the basis of assemblages of cereal grains. The archaeological results from all time periods are generally reflective of agricultural use of the site. Due to its location on the floodplain of the Cocker Beck, the land within the site is likely to have been fertile and suitable for cultivation throughout prehistory and the later historic periods. The largest proportion of finds comprised Iron Age and Romano-British animal bone from livestock, consistent with the picture of agricultural exploitation of the site. There was extensive evidence of butchery on some bones from Iron Age contexts. The results of the evaluation do not substantiate settlement on the site, however the area around one trench produced the highest concentration of finds including CBM of Romano-British date, potentially from a structure. Evidence of ridge and furrow cultivation was present across the site, probably representing a single field. A few medieval artefacts provide dating evidence for the furrows. There is no suggestion in the archaeological results of a medieval settlement within the site boundaries (such as the deserted village of Woolsthorpe). Remains of an early post-medieval brick surface were present in one trench and correspond with the approximate location of a footpath shown on the Ordnance Survey map of 1884. Evidence for former post-medieval inclosure boundaries correlating with boundaries depicted on historic maps was also identified. Palaeochannels were also present, generally feeding downslope into the Cocker Beck, but with two probable instances of former channels of the river itself.
