A trial trench evaluation was undertaken on the site of a proposed solar farm, west of Burton Joyce, Nottinghamshire. The trial trenching followed a geophysical survey which suggested, aside from its far northeastern corner, an overall very low archaeological potential for the site. This assessment of the site’s potential was confirmed as accurate, with only one trench containing significant archaeological deposits, in the northwestern corner of the far northeastern field. This comprised an isolated enclosure, possibly rectangular in shape, which produced evidence of activity dating to the mid-or later Iron Age. A scatter of post-medieval/modern agricultural features and very occasional undated features of possible archaeological origin were found in the remainder of the site.
