Abstract: |
In 2013, in accordance with the NPPF (2012), a programme of archaeological evaluation (trial-trenching) took place on farmland at Kirkby-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire. The evaluation, commissioned by Bowden Land, was conducted in accordance with a Written Scheme of Investigation approved by Nottinghamshire. County Council (NCC). It followed previous stages of work including a Desk-based Archaeological Assessment, a Fieldwalking Survey and a Geophysical Survey.Out of a total of 30 trial trenches, 14 were archaeologically negative and one was unexcavated. Of the remaining 15 trenches, seven contained only agricultural or natural geological features; and two contained parts of the same boundary ditch. The most significant archaeology of the evaluation relates to six trenches located both to the north and south of Doles Lane, where evidence for at least six potential rectilinear enclosures was found to support the geophysical survey results. Unfortunately only three sherds of pottery were recovered from the whole evaluation and all of these features are currently undated. Roman pottery scatters observed during the geophysical survey tentatively suggests that at least two of the enclosures may be Roman. |
