Pre-Construct Archaeological Services Ltd (PCAS) was commissioned by Rippon Homes Ltd., to undertake a comprehensive programme of observation and recording on land off Portland Street, Mansfield Woodhouse, Nottinghamshire. The site comprises an irregular shaped unit of former waste land approximately 0.8ha in extent. During a previous archaeological evaluation on the site two small pits and a linear feature containing a single human grave were discovered, this study aimed to establish whether this was an isolated grave or part of a wider burial site and to ascertain the presence of any fur-ther archaeology. The study revealed a post Medieval structure built from limestone blocks bonded with hard lime mortar. The building appeared to have 3 rooms, a previous investigation (trial trench) located an internal wall which confirmed the structure to have been part of the late 19th cen-tury terraced housing. The report goes on to state “A group of outbuildings was located to the east of the terraces, which contained three rooms with four external entrances, and was cer-tainly a 19th century lace-maker’s cottage”. To the east of the outbuildings and boundary wall a shallow L-shaped foundation was noted - 0.80m wide and 0.30m deep. This contained a small number of random, un-coursed sand-stone blocks but has been heavily disturbed by modern activity. Beneath these blocks was a shallow layer of silty clay containing occasional stones and rubble, thought to be construction trample – see report for annotated drawings. The excavation of other trenches were ob-served but no archaeological features or finds were revealed. The report concludes “The features exposed during the course of the watching brief were associated with partially demolished stone structures, which were recorded on the Ordnance Survey map of 1884. A standing building was situated to the north-east of the site, and clearly visible on the 1884 map; a lace maker’s cottage dating from the 19th century. The external walls of the building were fully standing, and the internal walls and concrete floor were generally structurally sound, although internal doors and the windows had been boarded up in modern times. Many of the beams in the roof were present, and the roof itself was also largely intact. The location of the grave discovered during the preceding evaluation (Rowe, 2008) was with-in 1.0m of manhole C2, the grave was shallow with only a small amount of human bone re-maining. Less than 5% of the complete skeleton survived, but even so, the burial was that of an adult male of at least 25 years of age (Hill, 2008), although dating the grave has not been possible due to a lack of artefactual evidence. No other burials were found anywhere within the excavated area, suggesting that this was a single discrete burial.
