Abstract: |
Trent and Peak Archaeology, part of the York Archaeological Trust, were contracted by VINCI Construction UK Ltd to undertake archaeological mitigation ahead of the creation of a new Nottingham Express Transit tram-line running from the Railway Station through Lenton to Toton (NET2 Line B). As part of the ongoing groundworks, Vinci required a re-routing of the main 33 kilovolt electrical supply cable for the Queen's Medical Centre, away from the proposed track base. The proposed new cable route is located entirely on existing public highways which have seen a number of previous groundworks for modern services, but also passes through the area of Lenton Medieval Priory, a Scheduled Monument , SM 1019675 During these two phases of work substantial portions of Lenton Medieval Priory's floor plan, which had hitherto only been conjectural, were observed and recorded for the first time. These included the entire width of the cloister (now proven to be located on the south side of the coventual church), a good part of the south transept, probable parts of the apsidal east end of the church, as well as elements of a subsidiary chapel or chapels located on the south side of this apse. |
