An archaeological trial trench evaluation prior to development on land at Yeoman Park Academy, Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. Archaeological evaluation comprised the excavation of eight trenches, representing approximately 4% of the total of the evaluation area. Six of the eight trenches contained no archaeological features. Two trenches at the east of the Site contained remains of six ditches, none of which could be dated but correspond with field boundaries observed on historic mapping. Deposits were observed in most trenches relating to levelling of the ground ahead of creation of the school playing field.
