Description: | The site of a Roman fort overlooking a Roman camp discovered by air photography. Nothing is visible on ground which is partly arable and partly pasture. {1}
The farmer said that Sheffield University had carried out a geographical survey and trial trenching in November 1983. {2}
A resistivity survey of part of the north-west corner of the site (under pasture) was carried out in early 1984 to attempt to trace and define any western defences. The line of the twin ditches of the northern defences were clearly indicated, but it was not possible to identify any internal features other than a ditch aligned north to south. The excavation of a trial trench across the internal ditch revealed a sand-filled v-shaped ditch with an 'ankle-breaker' slot. The ditch was 1.5m wide and 1.4m deep, the 'ankle-breaker' was 0.15m wide and 0.1m deep. No other features were visible in the trial trench, although a rough scatter of stones to the west were tentatively interpreted as the remains of a laid surface. There were no finds. {7} | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Temporal: | 43 - 409 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
