Abstract:		 Archaeological fieldwalking, reconnaissance and geophysical surveys were carried out along the proposed route of a gas pipeline. Previous desk-based assessment had identified that eight roads or paths which crossed the line had probably preserved the alignment of their medieval predecessors, and that two areas of ridge and furrow and a cropmark representing an undated rectangular enclosure lay nearby. During fieldwalking, only seven artefacts were collected, comprising fragments of worked flint, a sherd of Roman pottery and two sherds of undated, possibly post-medieval pottery. An area of possible plough-damaged ridge and furrow was located, and it was noted that many of the field boundaries which crossed the proposed pipeline route were likely to have been several hundred years old. Apparent earthworks were observed, but the majority of these probably represented old river channels and abandoned meanders. Some may have been caused by alterations to modern drainage works. The geophysical survey recorded no significant magnetic anomalies. It was recommended that a watching brief should be maintained during construction of the pipeline. A long-established parish boundary and a possible medieval roadway were highlighted as areas for particular attention during the watching brief, together with alluvial deposits by the Trent and Blithe rivers.
