Abstract/Summary

An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at the site of Toton Manor Farm Recreation Ground in Nottinghamshire as part of the Heritage Lottery-funded community archaeology project 'Toton Unearthed'. The site is situated on deposits of alluvial riverine clays overlying river terrace gravels and the waterstones of the Mercia Mudstone Formation. Previous work at the site involved Lidar survey, geophysical (geomagnetic) survey, laser scan topographic survey, and walkover and hand topographic survey. This was done through a community venture with the help of local volunteers during April and May 2014. The excavation identified three main phases of construction at the site. Possible evidence of a medieval mill once having stood on the site was recorded in the form of stone foundations and a posthole and beam slot. In situ timbers of uncertain function recovered from the mill pond were also dated to the 13th century AD. The scale and manner of the 18th century mill was recorded as were features evidencing expansion and technological advancements during the 19th Century.
