As part of Nottingham's new Tram extension (NET 2), Vinci Construction UK were required to undertake a large soil strip, some 12 hectares in size, on the proposed site of the Clifton Park and Ride Terminus. The strip revealed a moderate density of archaeological features that; where dating evidence was present, archaeological features were mainly Iron Age in date, although a smaller number of Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age features were present. Archaeological features included a large ditched enclosure (Neolithic to Iron Age), a ring ditch of a burial mound (Bronze Age), extensive pit alignments (Iron Age) and a large number of settlement-related pits/ditches (Late Bronze Age to Iron Age). The excavations identified a previously largely unknown portion of prehistoric landscape on the upper slope of the valley Fareham Brook. The excavated data provides some considerable insight into land-use, if not settlement per-se, over a sustained period of time; the Neolithic through to the Middle Iron Age. This data provides an important counterpoint to the more visible picture of Late Iron Age and Romano-British settlement activity that has been observed immediately to the south in the watershed of the Trent valley along the route of the A453 ( a known Roman road) and at the nearby Lark Hill retirement village.
