Abstract:		 The study area lay within a reach of the Trent that had previously yielded nationally significant cultural archaeological remains, including the medieval mill dam, bridges and fishweirs at the Hemington Quarry, approximately 500 metres to the east. The geomorphological context of the study area, together with the proximity to these structures, suggested that it had high archaeological potential, particularly for riverine structures and environmentally significant deposits. However, deep stratification caused by channel migration and subsequent alluvial deposition effectively prevented the prediction of such sites prior to quarrying. It was therefore suggested that the best approach to managing such a resource was a long term programme of fieldwork involving further survey, selective evaluation fieldwork and a watching brief during extraction with a contingency for the excavation and recording of important archaeological and environmental remains.
