Abstract: |
Trent and Peak Archaeology was commissioned by Nottinghamshire County Council to carry out trial trenching, consisting of 5 trenches (between 8 x 1.7m and 28 x 1.7m), ahead of the Worksop Bus Station works.In three archaeological trenches in the western half of the site, a low density of archaeological features was identified. These consist of a stone lined drain which corresponds to a field boundary observed on an 1848 map of the area, as well as an undated pit and ditch.A small number of the trial trenches identified possible alluvial flood deposits and two palaeochannels at a depth of 1.3m BGL. The alluvial deposits may have geoarchaeological potential and could mask horizons of archaeological potential below a depth of at least 1.7m BGL. |
