Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation of proposed road improvements of the Fosse Way (A46) between Widmerpool and Newark was undertaken. Fieldwalking recovered Late Neolithic artefacts from an area to the north of the Romano-British small town of Margidunum and a concentration of Romano-British pottery to the north-east of the Margidunum roundabout and identified a Late Upper Palaeolithic open site and concentrations of Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age finds and medieval pottery at Farndon Fields. An earthwork survey was undertaken to provide an accurate but simlified record of the state of the earthworks of Margidumnum and augering to map geological deposits at the Roman small town identified marshy conditions of probable but not securely date antiquity and the potential for existence of significant environmental data within subsurface deposits.
