An archaeological fieldwalking survey was carried out on land at Red Barn, near Carlton in Lindrick, Nottinghamshire, in advance of proposed mineral extraction. A previous Environmental Assessment identified no previously recorded archaeological sites or findspots in the application area, and very few archaeological remains in the wider study area, though it noted a group of cropmarks to the north, interpreted as a Romano-British field system. No artefacts pre-dating the post-medieval period were found during the fieldwalking survey, and the majority of the relatively small finds assemblage dated from the 18th century or later. It seems likely that the land was first brought into cultivation when Carlton in Lindrick parish was enclosed in 1768, and that no significant activity took place here in any earlier period. A baseline was set out along the eastern side of the site, running parallel and adjacent to the B6045. Thereafter, a series of transects running at right angles to the baseline and spaced 10m apart were laid out, using an optical square, and were marked with canes. Each transect was walked, the ground being scanned visually about one metre on each side of the marked line. All pre-modern (pre-1900) finds were collected; wherever there was doubt about an artefact’s age, it was also collected. All finds were bagged, and their locations were recorded. The finds assemblage was assessed as being of no archaeological merit, and was discarded after specialist study. The report concludes "As no artefacts pre-dating the post-medieval period were found during the fieldwalking Observation of the site the survey suggested that the land must always have been prone to seasonal drought, and must always have been marginal in terms of its arable potential; a factor which probably contributed to the very low yield of recovered artefacts. Plotting of the individual artefacts retrieved shows a concentration in the north-eastern quadrant of the field, while finds were particularly scarce along the western side. The distribution corresponds roughly to the topography of the field, indicating a natural movement down the slope and accumulation at its base, probably aided by ploughing".
