Abstract:		 A watching brief was carried out during topsoil stripping in connection with the regrading of the Rivers Meden and Maun. The surrounding area contained numerous examples of cropmark field systems, thought to have dated primarily from the Late Iron Age and Romano-British periods. The topsoil stripping was expected to reveal associated features, which could have contained waterlogged deposits due to their proximity to the rivers. Most of the stripped areas revealed a mixture of alluvial silts and gravel from previous dredging of the river. These deposits would have sealed any ancient features cut into the subsoil. No features directly linked to the cropmarks were uncovered. However, two shallow ditches containing artefacts which suggested a relatively recent date were revealed. The larger of the two ditches may have represented a boundary marked on both the tithe map of 1846 and the first edition Ordnance Survey map of 1921. To the west of the A614 a water meadows system, complete with drains and sluice gates, was recorded. Structures relating to this had been noted prior to stripping. Further investigation also revealed a cobbled stone fording point, now replaced by the modern road on a different alignment. [Au(adp)]
