It was a fantastic example of great research and great public engagement coming together to form a fantastic project

The first phase saw 15 test pits in gardens and on public and private land throughout the village.
It formed part of long term research by Mercian Archaeological Services CIC into settlement development in Sherwood Forest.
Finds from the project included 13th-

Interim Report:
The Sherwood Forest Archaeology Project will be returning to Clipstone to dig more test pit in the village in the very near future, as there is fantastic community support for the project, and a desire for more work.
The Project is in the process of raising the money required for phase 2.
The next phase will be looking for the original “Clippa’s Tun”, and will also investigate the wider landscape of the settlement.
