An integrated archaeological survey of the former site of Clipstone Peel was undertaken as part of the Sherwood Forest Archaeology Project, in 2017. The survey included a geophysical magnetometer survey and was designed to begin research into the possible remains of Edward II’s fortification of ‘Clipstone Peel’. The location of Clipstone Peel was identified by David Crook (1976) as being the site of the stone ruin known as ‘Beeston Lodge’. Beeston Lodge, which is a scheduled monument lies in Mansfield Woodhouse, Nottinghamshire, on the former boundary of the royal deer park of Clipstone in Sherwood Forest. This initial phase of work has been designed as a starting point for long term research. The results have been a very interesting ‘first step’ in beginning to understand the site. The standing ruin consists of the remains of a rubble core of a stone wall orientated approximately north to south, there are also the possible remains (although buried under rubble and vegetation and hard to fully ascertain and record) of a wall which runs parallel, approximately 8 feet to the east of the standing wall. These two walls may be part of the same building. It is possible that this building (if it is one building) represents the remains of the gatehouse of the site. Another possibility is that is the remains of a stone chamber (a chamber is listed on the site). It is just possible that the anomalies detected here show something of the former extent of the site of Clipstone Peel, and the subsequent hunting lodge and the site later known as Beeston Lodge, and perhaps represent the first view of what survives beneath the soil on this important medieval site in Sherwood.
