Abstract:		 Trent and Peak Archaeology (TPA) was commissioned by Tarmac to undertake a programme of archaeological strip, map and record excavation ahead of sand and gravel extraction at the site of Calverton (Burntstump) Quarry, Arnold, Nottinghamshire (NGR SK 58579 49435). Excavation revealed a moderate density of archaeological activity within the stripped 1.3ha area all broadly corresponding to two apparent phases of land use (Figure 2, 3). All features appeared to be heavily truncated by recent agricultural activity. The strip, plan and sample excavation, undertaken ahead of planned sand and gravel extraction, has successfully identified at least 2 main phases of archaeological activity within a 1.1ha area. A concentration of activity was identified towards the west of the site boundary, with sporadic features identified to the east. The first phase of activity is marked by a shallow boundary ditch or field system dating to the Iron Age, located within the western corner of the site. This was identified alongside several features possibly relating to a period of sand and gravel quarrying dating to the post-medieval or later period. A possible third phase of activity was identified in a series of undated features which appear to relate to a period of widespread woodland clearance through burning. Historic mapping does not appear to show the site as being heavily wooded throughout the later post-medieval and modern periods, though it is possible that localised clearance of trees occurred so as to facilitate agricultural development.
