Description

The Site is located within Mansfield Woodhouse, a settlement located c. 3 km north of Mansfield. The Site currently comprises school buildings and playing fields of Yeoman Park Academy and is directly to the south of The Manor Academy, and within residential housing to the east and west. It was agreed that a c. 30 m by 30 m area would need to be investigated further to provide understanding of the archaeology of the area. The excavation confirmed that the site would have sat in the agricultural hinterland of the settlement of Mansfield during the medieval period. In the western half of site we can see the changing agricultural practices with ridge and furrow being replaced by regimented field boundaries during the post-medieval period. In the east of the excavation area a possible change in use of the land during the medieval perio can be seen with the presence of four likely contemporary ditches and a lack of ridge and furrow. However, due to the truncation of remains by modern services, any further associated features may have been lost.
