Commercial sand and gravel extraction and quarrying by the River Trent at Attenborough began as early as 1929 and has continued almost to the present day. As well as leaving a legacy of scenic lakes and environment for wild-life, both sites have produced some interesting and revealing archaeology. Perhaps one of the more remarkable finds came as the result of gravel extraction of a different kind. In 1938, workmen from the Trent Navigation Company were dredging gravel in the Trent below Clifton Grove when their progress was stopped by wooden stakes or piles driven into the river bed.
At the same time, human remains – in the form of a skull – and bronze spearheads were brought to the surface.
