Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by RWE Npower Renewables Ltd to undertake an archaeological watching brief on excavations associated with the construction of five wind turbines and associated infrastructure on land off Blidworth Lane, Lindhurst, Mansfield, Nottinghamshire . The Site is approximately centred on National Grid Reference 4575 3580. The scope of the watching brief comprised a partial monitoring strategy in accordance with a Written Scheme of Investigation by ARCUS (2009) and approved by Nottinghamshire County Council and in line with planning policy guidance set out in PPG16. Archaeological monitoring was undertaken over approximately 0.5 hectares divided between seven areas across the site. The aim of the watching brief was to preserve through record the presence/absence, date, nature, and extent of any buried archaeological remains and features. Historical analysis of the area indicated the possibility of Roman and Prehistoric activity in the vicinity of the site, however, no archaeological materials relating to these periods were recovered and intensive ploughing of the area made it unlikely that any shallow archaeological features would survive. A large number of features were identified across the monitored areas thought to relate to former tree cover. These features were heavily truncated, although it was observed that they may not have been pulled down but felled in such a way to leave the roots to rot in place. This could constitute evidence for woodland management consistent with the area's inclusion within Sherwood Forest during the medieval period.
