Excavation carried out as part of the Fenland Management Project recorded a series of ditches and enclosures. A shoe was recovered from the fill of an enclosure ditch. A probable circular structure and a floor level were also recorded. The pottery assemblage indicated occupation from the first to fourth centuries.{5} | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Temporal: | 43 - 399 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
