Abstract:		 Excavations at Willington sand and gravel quarry between 1998 and 1999 have produced evidence of prehistoric activity on the floodplain within the Middle Trent Valley. Areas of low wooded islands surrounded by active streams were a focus of Early to Middle Neolithic activity. Peterborough wares were the predominant pottery. Non-animal foodstuffs were predominantly wild, but there was also evidence of dairying. There is evidence of fire clearance that was repeated over several centuries from the later half of third millennium cal BC. A burnt mound was probably used as a seasonal cooking site over a number of years. The area then appears to have been abandoned, and was used as a burial mound in the later Early Bronze Age: a small ring ditch encircled a grave cut into alluvial silts. In the late second millennium ca BC, there is renewed seasonal burnt mound activity in a partly wooded landscape near a stream. The waterlogged remains are of outstanding quality, including a rectangular roundwood-lined trough.
