Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on land adjacent to the A453 between the M1, Junction 24 and the A52 at Nottingham by ULAS in January 2007. The work was commissioned by White Young Green. In total 33 trial trenches were excavated in order to assess the potential for the survival of archaeological remains. Five trenches were excavated in Site 3, fifteen in Site 9, ten in Site 11, and three in Site 27. The northern part of Site 3 was situated on a gravel terrace on which were a number of linear features which may represent settlement boundary ditches or drainage features associated with occupational or land use. Two pits were also encountered, one of which contained possible industrial material. A single sherd of early Saxon pottery from one of the ditches, combined with further Saxon debris recovered from the vicinity is suggestive of an early medieval date for the features. The archaeological features at Site 9 were undated linears, probably drainage ditches of possible Roman date with the exception of a prehistoric pit containing a late Neolithic flint assemblage. At Site 11 two post medieval or modern drainage ditches were encountered to the south of Mill Hill and a possible holloway of unknown date to north that could have been used as a route from land to the south of Clifton to the east. Despite the lack of archaeological deposits encountered at Site 27 the presence of a ring ditch to the south demonstrates the presence of archaeological features in the vicinity. The site archive will be held by the Historic and Natural Environment Team, Leicestershire County Council under the Accession Number X. A6. 2007.
