Abstract:		 Trent and Peak Archaeology was commissioned by Grace Machin Planning and Property to carry out a trial trench evaluation in order to develop a suitable mitigation strategy. The excavation comprised seven trenches (1.80m x 10m) in advance of the proposed expansion at the site of Skylarks Dementia Care, Adbolton Lane, West Bridgford, Nottinghamshire, centred on NGR SK 60147 38363.The evaluation aimed to rapidly clarify and characterise the levels of truncation/preservation of archaeological remains within the proposed development area. Across the northern part of the site within trenches 1 and 2 the evaluation demonstrated a degree of modern truncation caused by previous development which may have removed the potential for archaeological remains to a depth of c. 0.7m to 0.8m. In contrast to the south a concentration of archaeological features were identified within the remaining five trenches 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, which comprised a series of ditches, pits and postholes, although sample excavation produced no datable artefacts. Together these appear to indicate the presence of at least a moderate density of archaeological features that due to their morphology and orientation appear to be a continuation of the significant Mid-Late Iron Age settlement site previously excavated along the east side of the proposed development in 2006/7. The potentially significant archaeological features were present within trenches 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 at depths between c.0.4m to 0.8m cut into naturally deposited sand and gravel, although it was unclear whether some of the features may have also been cut through the subsoil layer above this. These features will be impacted on by the proposed main development area.
