Abstract:		 Archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out during an extensive programme of improvement works to Sconce and Devon Park in Newark on Trent, Nottinghamshire. The park comprises four character areas: the Sconce Hills; the Queen's Sconce Scheduled Ancient Monument; Devon Pastures Nature Reserve, and Devon Park. The Queen's Sconce was constructed during the Civil War as part of a chain of earthwork fortifications outside the town walls, which are some of the most impressive and best preserved field fortifications in Britain. Other areas of the park had previous uses as a linen manufacturing site and the route of an industrial tramway. The excavation of two trenches to carry the foundations of a bridge access to the Queen's Sconce revealed several phases of deposits and possible linear features: the earliest deposit to be exposed probably dates to the original construction of the Sconce earthwork. Other features encountered include a concrete structure identified as a World War II Home Guard hut, and a number of brick structures probably dating from earlier phases of landscaping in the park, which has been open to the public since the late 19th century. The project was carried out in 2 phases, with separate site codes and job numbers.
