Description

A programme of fieldwalking on the proposed line of the Mansfield Western Bypass. Approximately 90% (Phase 1) and 50% (Phase 2) of the land affected by the proposed scheme was available for walking. All the fields were well weathered so that artefacts should have been equally visible. The area to be walked was laid out in trnsects spaced at 10m intervals. (1) Grid ref for N end of W bypass corridor. See E9509, E9510 for fieldwalking of other sections of the route.
