R & JC Limited commissioned Allen Archaeology Limited to undertake archaeological monitoring and recording on land at Farleys Farm, Tuxford, Nottinghamshire, as a condition of planning consent for a residential development. During the fieldwork the monitoring archaeologist inspected all exposed plan and section surfaces, with a view to undertake the limited, rapid excavation of any archaeological remains for artefact recovery and clarity of the shape and orientation of the features. Topsoil and subsoil, and spoil heaps were also inspected for flint artefacts. Monitoring was undertaken during groundworks for a new dwelling and garage. No archaeological features were noted during groundworks, nor were any lithics recovered. The sequence exposed comprised topsoil, subsoil and natural geology.
