Abstract: |
Trent and Peak Archaeology were commissioned by RPS to conduct an archaeological watching brief during the excavation of footings, drainage works and general ground reduction on the site of the former Police station, Grantham road, Bingham, Nottinghamshire (SK 7088 3958) between 12th December 2019 and 15th January 2020. The site consists of the former Bingham Police Station, police accommodation and ancillary buildings which was closed in April 2011 and demolished before the commencement of this watching brief. The site is bounded by Belvoir Vale Grove, and its associated residential estate, to the east and south, with Grantham road to the north and Bingham Cemetery to the west. The site is situated between a scheduled ancient monument, the abandoned medieval settlement of Bingham c. 300m north of site, and the historic core of modern Bingham. The intrusive groundworks were undertaken with a 360° excavator and comprised the reduction of the slope at the south-eastern corner of the site and the excavation of footings for the central building. Only one potential pit [1003] was identified during these works, situated at the western end of the northern wall footing. Approximately one third of the site was stripped down to the natural mudstone (1002) during demolition, with the remainder of the site having a layer of made ground (1005) deposited over the mudstone, probably from the demolition of the police station. No finds, features or deposits of archaeological significance were identified. The watching brief was discontinued, with permission of the Planning Archaeologist, on 15/1/2020 |
