Abstract/Summary

The archaeological monitoring and recording of the groundworks pertaining to the construction ofa new two-bedroomed bungalow and a new three-bedroomed bungalow at the Old Stables, Crab Lane, North Muskham, Nottinghamshire was carried out on the 9th-10th of March 2020. The groundworks for this development, which comprised the mechanical excavation of the foundations for the two new bungalows were the subject of continual archaeological monitoring and recording. No archaeological activity was identified on this site and there were no finds. The findings comprised a site deposit sequence that consisted of a topsoil horizon, an undated buried soil or ploughsoil horizon and underlying natural horizon, which consisted partially of river terrace gravels to the east with the remainder of alluvial silt deposits to the west. This deposit sequence was consistent over the whole monitored area and was recorded within nine representative sections, which were widely distributed over the development site. During the course of the excavation of a northerly east-west orientated foundation trench within the new build area of one of the units, part of the brick foundations of the 19th century and demolished former Old Stables were removed. This building comprised the former stable block to the Old Manor House or North Muskham House to the south.
