Title Tiln Solar Farm, Retford, Nottinghamshire: Archaeological Evaluation Phase 1
Author/Originator
Date/Year 2021

Abstract/Summary

An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on land to the east of Tiln Farm, Retford, Nottinghamshire from February to April 2021 in order to inform a planning application for a solar panel installation. The evaluation followed a geophysical survey of the site which identified anomalies of undetermined and natural origin. The first phase of trenching was carried out in early 2021 with one evaluation trench containing a ditch, possibly related to a former enclosure, containing pottery dated from c.350BC to c.50BC. Evidence for former field boundaries and furrows were identified throughout the excavation area along with the remains of ridge and furrow.
