Abstract:		 Between the 1st of June and the 10th of June 2015 OA East conducted an evaluation on 33ha of land off Station Road, Elton-on-the-Hill, Nottinghamshire in advance of a proposed new Solar Farm. This work followed a geophysical survey and a desk-based assessment. Thirty-seven evaluation trenches were excavated across the site with three targeted over two sub-circular positive anomalies c.500m apart located by the geophysical survey. These anomalies were found to be two separate Early Iron Age settlement sites. In Trench 8, at the north of the site, was a single isolated house with a 13m diameter drip gully together with an internal post hole. Two iron objects (possibly small parts of harness fittings) were recovered from the drip gully along with 33 pottery sherds, cattle and sheep bone. In Trenches 32 and 33, in the southwest of the site, was a ditched sub-rounded/oval enclosure. No internal features were recorded within the enclosure. Artefacts recovered consisted of 22 pottery sherds weighing 119g along with a small assemblage of animal bone, mostly from the eastern section through the enclosure. An animal bone from each of the sites has been sent for radiocarbon dating and any results will be added to this report as an addendum. No other pre-medieval (furrows) features were found and the site has continued in use for agriculture until the present day.
