Clipstone is a small village in north-west Nottinghamshire. The earliest historical reference to the settlement is in the Domesday Book of 1086. Clipstone seems to contain an Old Norse personal name, Klyppr.
Pre-historic period
The earliest date-able material from Clipstone is from the Bronze Age. There is also a suspected ring ditch in the vicinity of New Clipstone which is assumed to be a ploughed out round barrow.
Roman period
Pottery of the period is known from Clipstone due to Philip Rahtz’s excavation in 1956 and Trent and Peak Archaeology’s watching brief and fieldwalking in 1991. There have also been metal detector finds within the parish of two Roman brooches and a small coin hoard and arrowhead. The adjacent parish of Mansield Woodhouse contains a suspected Roman road (Leeming Lane) with an associated marching camp at Roman Bank.

Four pieces of late Saxon shelly ware pottery were recorded in 1991 during fieldwalking of Castlefield. These four pieces of pottery are actually Potterhanworth Ware, dating to the 13th–15th century.
