A FLATTISH MOUND, ABOUT 45FT IN DIAMETER. IT IS PROBABLY A STEADING. {1}, DIAMETER 13M, HTM 40M
An archaeological survey was undertaken on lands forming part of the Brocklesby Estate, comprising field observation and rapid fieldwalking (on a non-collecting basis) and a desk-top assessment. This was done to appraise the archaeological resource of the estate as part of a wider Heritage Landscape Management Plan. The survey identified a c.14m diameter by c.1m high mound, with a flattish top, slight depression on the west side (probably due to poaching by cattle) and the suggestion of a ditch on the eastern side. The mound appeared to lay on an earth platform c.90m east to west and 45m north to south. It lies on the south side of a low narrow valley which had been dug out to hold water. The platform is probably made from the spoil created by the digging out of the dry valley {3} | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
