A geophysical survey using magnetometry was undertaken on land at Manor Farm, Shelton, Nottinghamshire, prior to determination of a planning application for a new manege. The site lies within the former grounds of Shelton Manor, with a series of mounds to the northeast of the site indicating that Shelton was a larger settlement in the medieval period. A prehistoric ring ditch has been identified from aerial photographs within the area of the proposed manege. The survey has identified three linear positive features which may represent a former trackway, drainage features or former field boundaries. No features were revealed that correspond with the prehistoric ring ditch which had formerly been identified from aerial photographs. The large area of magnetic noise within the north-eastern part of the site likely represents buried hardcore material.
