Abstract/Summary

Magnetic susceptibility and fluxgate gradiometer surveys was carried out on land at Two Oaks Farm, Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. This work formed part of an archaeological evaluation in advance of mineral extraction. The 101ha site lies approximately 3.5km south of Mansfield town centre, in the parish of Sutton in Ashfield. There is little recorded evidence of archaeology in the vicinity of the site. A desk based assessment took place and concluded that the archaeological potential of the site was uncertain. With reference to the geophysical survey as a stand-alone report, it is concluded that the site does not contain any significant archaeological remains, where widespread and random variation almost certainly relates to natural features and/or tree boles. For the most part, variations of magnetic susceptibility across the site appear to reflect natural inconsistencies within the top soil, where detailed gradiometer survey across zones of enhancement has produced no evidence of anthropogenetic activity (with the possible exception of a linear zone of higher readings along the route of a buried service thought possibly to be a buried irrigation pipe). The gradiometer survey also recorded services in other locaitons, although there was no corresponding enhancement of magnetic susceptibility. The report contains annotated results and a site map.
