Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology undertook archaeological evaluation trenching on c. 9.3 hectares of land lying between Platt Lane and Station Road, Keyworth, Notts This led to agreement of a strategy of strip, map and sample across 0.14 hectares focussed on a localised cluster of curvilinear and rectilinear anomalies in the north-west of the site. This work revealed a co-axial field system with a dominant north-west to south-east aligned boundary, two ring ditches, various small isolated features and a group of north-east to south-west furrows. Other than the furrows, the archaeological remains appear to be of wholly Mid-Late Iron Age date and represent a small farmstead. A small assemblage of finds was recovered during the investigations, consisting very largely of animal bone (mostly cattle) and pottery, most of which derived from contexts within the strip, map and sample area, with a small quantity recovered from evaluation trenches. The assemblage is almost exclusively of Iron Age date. Environmental samples from the features produced small numbers of generally poorly preserved cereal remains, wild plants and charcoal. The environmental assemblage is indicative of settlement activities, including the latter stages of cereal crop-processing, and is consistent with the Iron Age chronology, although on the whole not particularly informative. |
