Abstract:		 The scheme comprises a transport link between Junction 3 of the M18 and the junction of the A638 and B6463 to the south of Bessacarr, with links extending into Rossington. Through comparison of the geophysics and trenched results we can determine the likely extent of the features revealed within the evaluation, and date of the anomalies revealed by the geophysical survey. The results may also allow us to further define a network of cropmarks bordering the Site. The archaeological features revealed during the evaluation were largely undated, but the presence of a redeposited sherd of Romano-British pottery in a probable post-medieval ditch hints at a similar date for some of the ditches, although a prehistoric (or later) date cannot be ruled out. The ditches within the west of the route are likely to be Romano-British in origin. The lack of any finds strongly suggests that any settlement lay away from the Site. The ditches would have silted up relatively quickly and may have only been short lived, and there was little evidence for recutting. The sandy natural may have meant that any nutrients in the soil would have been exhausted relatively quickly and agricultural fields would not be long lived. Although deep it is unlikely that the ditches would have prevented animals straying, and the revealed postholes may have formed part of associated fences; hedge lines may also have been cultivated. Peat deposits were also revealed in the central part of the Site, which was radiocarbon dated to the Early Bronze Age.
