Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey of a 40 hectare site at Pleasley Hill, near Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, to provide information on the archaeological potential of the site in advance of its possible development. The survey has identified anomalies indicative of archaeological activity across the whole of the site including an extensive former field system and trackway, an enclosure (which may or may not be contemporary) and a ring ditch (the remains of a prehistoric burial mound). All these features were previously unknown. Other anomalies are due to recent and post-medieval ploughing and modern activity. Overall the survey has confirmed the conclusions of the earlier desk-based appraisal which assessed the site to have moderate to high archaeological potential for remains of the Roman to post-medieval and prehistoric periods respectively although there are clearly large parts of the site containing no archaeological anomalies. |
