PRN 42802c (TF 4098 8528) An earthwork survey and trial trenching were carried out, centred on TF4098 8528, in 1998. Four drainage ditches were recorded, probably related to drainage and reclamation during the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. One of the ditches contained abundant domestic waste, including fifteenth to seventeenth century pottery, brick and tile, animal bone and a range of environmental information. The other ditches were not fully investigated but fragments of possible sixteenth century brick were recovered. These ditches would appear to drain into features previously described as 'hollow-ways', suggesting that they were in actual fact silted-up drains. {10} {11} {12}
PRN 42802d (TF 4132 8544) During site visits in 2002 and 2003, a scatter of twelfth to eighteenth century pottery was noted north of the stream. The scatter occupies the site of a house which remained standing in 1968 but was demolished shortly afterwards. {13} {14} A watching brief was undertaken during groundworks on the Lincolnshire Section 101A Schemes: The Carltons, Gayton le Marsh and South Reston sewer pipelines and pumping station. A medieval pottery scatter was uncovered. {15} {16}
