Abstract:		 Trent and Peak Archaeology were commissioned by Tomlinson Building Ltd to conduct an archaeological watching brief in advance of the construction of three new dwellings with associated landscaping, access and parking facilities, in the grounds of the existing property at the Old Rectory, Village Road, Clifton, Nottinghamshire. The site lies within the Clifton Village Archaeological Constraint Area, and also within the Clifton Conservation Area. Machine excavation of Area 1 revealed layers of made ground associated with the current and former driveways and garden landscaping of the Old Rectory. Two circular features were seen at the extreme north of Area 1. These were investigated and identified as natural features relating to modern bioturbation. No significant archaeological features, finds or deposits were revealed during the course of the excavation in Area 1. Machine excavation of the gardens associated with the Old Rectory (Area 2), commenced in December 2019 with the excavation of 3 ground investigation trenches, one in the centre of each plot. No archaeological remains were encountered. Plot 7 was reduced to below the level of the Edwalton Member Mudstone and the spoil used to raise plots 5 and 6. Archaeological monitoring and recording were conducted during ground reduction and excavation of footings for plots 5, 6 and 7. The monitoring confirmed that the area had been extensively landscaped and levelled. No significant archaeological features, finds or deposits were revealed during the course of this watching brief.
