During a site visit to Twyford wood, no sign of the Iron Age settlement could be found, although the South Kesteven Community Archaeologist has recorded that the site has survived as very slight earthworks.{7} | Subjects: | General Archaeology Metalwork | Temporal: | 800BC - 42BC | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
