A geophysical survey using magnetometry on land off Fosse Road, Farndon, Newark, Nottinghamshire was undertaken prior to submission of a planning application for a mixed use development. The site lies in an area of significant archaeological potential. Palaeolithic worked flint artefacts have been recovered close to and within the site, including a significant scatter in the southern half of the site, as well as small numbers of later prehistoric finds. The site also lies close to former Roman Road Fosse Way. The survey has revealed very few features of potential archaeological interest. Across the majority of the site are former cultivation trends, very likely to be modern. There are a few small amorphous positive features that could represent pits, soil-filled hollows or former ponds. The other features revealed related to small metal monitoring wells, modern metal poles and a lorry trailer used as an advertising sign. Previous investigations have shown that Late Upper Palaeolithic (LUP) flintwork is present on the site, which would not be visible within the geophysical survey. The evidence from the geophysical survey does however suggest a negligible archaeological potential for later prehistoric and later deposits to be present on the site.
