Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological mitigation was undertaken on land at Lindhurst Farm, Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. This proposed development site lies on the southern side of Mansfield, with the areas targeted in this second phase of the archaeological mitigation lying to the south of the A617 and Lindhurst Farm. Archaeological trial trenching in this area revealed three pits, and a scatter of prehistoric flints were recovered from the topsoil. Two excavation areas, with an additional six smaller trenches, investigated the areas of the pits that had been revealed during evaluation. Only two further discrete features were revealed, probably post-medieval or modern in date, reflecting low level activity around the farms and Harlow Wood. No additional evidence of prehistoric activity was noted. A borehole survey was also completed to characterise the deposits found at the north end of Field 21; the evidence confirms the presence of a palaeochannel in the natural stream valley in this part of the site. Deposits on the slope to the south are identified as lynchets, resulting from extensive ploughing. |
