Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology have been commissioned by Laing O' Rourke Infrastructure to undertake an archaeological watching brief during groundworks associated with the installation of a water pipeline between two sections of the A617, south of Kelham Hall, Kelham, Nottinghamshire. This investigation was requested in order to mitigate any impact of the construction on any heritage assets within the confines of the scheme and followed a Desk-based Assessment and geoarchaeological appraisal. The watching brief uncovered three sandstone structures comprising two mirrored walls with evidence for a previously attached gate along with a potential hearth or pillar tied into one of the walls. Documentary and cartographic research has failed to establish a provenance for the walls which were suggested to have been associated with the third siege of Newark during the Civil War. Elsewhere along the scheme, a post-Medieval drain and a 20th century path were uncovered along with unstratified ceramic building material and clay pipe. Within an area of higher ground formed by river gravels, a redeposited worked flint arrowhead dated to the Neolithic period was also recovered. Evidence of the alluvial processes of the River Trent indicated by the geoarchaeological appraisal were also uncovered which included a former meander.
