Abstract:		 An archaeological field evaluation by trial trenching was undertaken on land at Gateford Park, Gateford, Worksop, Nottinghamshire by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) between 7th-20th May. The site lies on the edge of modern settlement in an area containing cropmarks that possibly indicates former activity. A geophysical survey of the site identified linear and discrete features, possibly enclosure ditches and other features associated with an Iron Age or Romano-British settlement. Due to the planting of a new crop the original plan to excavate 20 trenches over four areas was modified, with the approval of Nottinghamshire County Council, to prevent significant damage to the crop in two of the fields. Consequently, 13 trenches were excavated on the western and eastern parts of the site. All but three of the thirteen trenches contained archaeological features, many of which contained Romano-British pottery dating from the 2nd century AD. These were mostly linear features probably representing enclosure ditches and gullies, most likely associated with the outlying enclosures of a Romano-British farm or settlement The site archive will be held by ULAS under the temporary accession number GFW 2013 until a suitable storage space is allocated for its deposition in Nottinghamshire.
