A programme of archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken during groundworks relating to a commercial and residential development on the site of the former Old Manse, 2 Bunny Lane, Keyworth, Nottinghamshire. The lies in an area of high archaeological potential, at the core of the historic settlement at Keyworth and close to the medieval parish church of St Mary Magdalene. The redevelopment of the Site involved the demolition of the Old Manse, a much-altered dwelling built in brick in the late 18th century to accommodate the minister of the Independent/Congregational chapel situated immediately north of the Site and constructed in 1768. The Old Manse had undergone considerable alteration in the late 20th century, including the addition of extensive single storey extensions to accommodate the functions of the British Legion. The recent programme of monitoring and recording revealed no conclusive evidence of archaeological activity predating the post medieval, although an undated possible metalled surface (part of a yard or track?) was recorded during underpinning under the north wall of the former Old Manse/south wall of the chapel. A ditch yielding a small quantity of finds dated 18th century was recorded in the area south of the Old Manse together with a pit containing articulated cattle remains and a 17th century clay pipe. Work in the footprint of the Old Manse revealed a cellar and a brick-lined well in the area immediately to the north. The removal of plaster from the wall adjacent to the stairs, revealed a brick-up doorway, which would have provided access between the Old Manse and the chapel. The presence of this door is mentioned in late 20th century sources, in the context of proposals for modification of the building including blocking up of the door. The scars of two internal walls visible on the surviving north wall provide evidence of the original layout, which was almost completely lost through the creation of open plan spaces during use by the British Legion.
