Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken by Network Archaeology Ltd on land at the current National Grid training centre at Eakring Nottinghamshire (SK 6761 6150), during groundworks associated with the construction on a new training gas AGI (Above Ground Installation). The archaeological work formed part of the discharge of conditions that accompanied planning permission for the development. During the monitoring of the affected area, which occupied some 1ha, a modest and unremarkable assemblage of artefacts was recovered from the ploughsoil, and a number of features and deposits were recorded. These relate to the agricultural exploitation of the land from the medieval period onwards, and principally comprise remains of ridge-and-furrow material and a historic hedgerow. Nothing of substantial archaeological importance was present, and the observations largely corroborate what was already known about how the site was used in the past. The degree of direct and indirect impact from the monitored development has been negligible. The observations presented may be used to formulate strategies for any future development in the area. |
