Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd to carry out a test pitting exercise at Penniment Farm, Abbott Road, Mansfield, Notts in advance of the proposed residential and commercial development of the Site. Test pits were located in areas where isolated worked flints were recovered during an earlier field walking exercise (APS 2011). In total 20 test pits were excavated with all excavated spoil being sieved before backfilling. No archaeological features were uncovered and no flint artefacts were found within the test pits, however, an undiagnostic worked flint flake was recovered from the ground surface c. 63m east-south-east of Test Pit 15. It seems likely that the flint finds recovered from the earlier fieldwalking were part of a very low density background spread of prehistoric evidence. Forty sherds of pottery were recovered from the sieved soil, of which one sherd dated to the 13th or 14th century. The remaining sherds span the 18th to 20th centuries, although some coarse redwares could potentially be earlier. Post-medieval ceramic building material, slag, metalwork, glass and clay tobacco pipe fragments were also recovered. All this material is likely to have been imported during the manuring of the site.
