Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on the offline section of the A453 from Clifton to Barton Lane, Nottinghamshire by ULAS in June 2007. The work was commissioned by White Young Green. In total 8 trial trenches were excavated in order to assess the potential for the survival of archaeological remains. Two trenches were excavated at Site 7, one at Site 12, and five at Site 28. At Site 7 a northwest to southeast furrow demonstrated the presence of medieval farming. There was an absence of archaeological deposits at Site 12. The archaeology at Site 28 consisted of a large settlement enclosure ditch containing late first to second century pottery. Two features of Romano-British date located to the southeast could be beam slots belonging to a timber building. Finds from the vicinity indicate that it could have been roofed in imbrex tiles. Romano-British and potentially Iron Age archaeology extends to the south of the enclosure in the form of linear features that may be boundary or drainage ditches associated with land use. Medieval farming is attested by the presence of northwest to southeast aligned furrows in the eastern part of the site. The site archive will be held by the Historic and Natural Environment Team, Leicestershire County Council under the Accession Number X. A6. 2007. |
