This collection comprises images, site records, reports, spreadsheets, and databases from a strip, map, and sample exercise and a trial trench evaluation at Yeoman Park Academy, Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. This work was undertaken by Ecus Ltd in in July 2023 prior to the construction of a new school and associated infrastructure.

Archaeological evaluation comprised the excavation of eight trenches, representing approximately 4% of the total evaluation area. This provided a good representation of archaeological potential across the strip, map, and sample exercise area. Following the evaluation, the area around Trenches 8 and 9 was comissioned for further works, with a 30 x 30 metre area opened. The excavation revealed a selection of archaeological remains spanning the medieval and post-medieval periods.

In the west of the area, there is evidence for changing agricultural farming practices, with the truncated remains of ridge and furrow being cut by a field boundary, representing the change in practices post Enclosure Act. Due to the depth of the field boundary, it seems likely that any remains have been heavily truncated.

In the east of the area, two sets of parallel ditches are present. The similar nature of the ditches and their respect of one another's alignment suggests that these features are contemporary, whilst the pottery recovered from Ditch 1020 indicates a medieval date. Due to the lack of occupational material within their fills, the ditches appear agricultural in use, representing a change in use of land to the east. However, any further associated remains have been truncated by the modern service trench.

Ditches recorded within Trenches 8 and 9 correlate with field boundaries recorded on historic mapping dating to 1844, with the adjacent ditches indicating possible evidence of earlier enclosure usage in this area. The ditch recorded in Trench 2 contained a range of artefacts dating to the post-medieval period, which indicates that this ditch may have formed part of a field system contemporary with those identified in Trenches 8 and 9.

Construction of the school in the 1970s and creation of school grounds is evident in levelling deposits observed in Trenches 3 and 4 and suggests that any archaeological features are unlikely to have survived.
