An archaeological watching brief occurred during soil stripping of the initialphase of works for a new housing development. This waslocated on a plot of land at the edgeof a modern housing estate, Cavendish Park, to the north of the village of Clipstone, Nottinghamshire. This watching brief formed the second phase of archaeological work at the site. A geophysical survey had already been undertaken (Railton 2017), the results of which were inconclusive, but suggested the possibility of modern disturbance. No evidence for past human activity was encountered during the excavations.
