Abstract: |
Test pits were undertaken on land east of the former A46 at Syerston, Nottinghamshire, in order to inform a forthcoming planning application for the construction of a new agricultural yard containing two storage sheds. Geophysical and metal-detecting surveys were carried out as the first part of a programme of archaeological works: the geophysical survey suggested limited archaeological potential, identifying a possible cluster of pits and a small number of isolated anomalies, while metaldetecting recovered mainly late medieval/post-medieval tool and horseshoe fragments The results of the archaeological evaluation indicate that the archaeological potential of the site is low, with the majority of the interventions proving to be archaeologically negative. The only archaeological feature identified on site was a large feature of uncertain form, provisionally interpreted as a pond for the use of livestock, which occupied much of Trench 11 and extended beyond it. The date of this feature remains uncertain, as no artefactual evidence was recovered and a radiocarbon date for charcoal from its fill is still being processed. |
