Description: | A fragment of a dug-out canoe ('Stainfield 1') ploughed up in December 1953, and measuring six feet long by two feet wide. Probably with a square bow (Fox type I). It was found on Fen Farm, Short Ferry. {1}{2}{5}
In 1964 Harper reported that the finder had died and that the canoe could not be located. A farm worker recollected the find spot as more central to the field at approximately TF 0973 7160. {1}
Only a couple of bungs/depth gauges survived. These were sent for radio-carbon dating in 1978. {4}
The SMR card has the location at TF 0990 7156; the Ordnance Survey card has the location at TF 0989 7155 and TF 0973 7160. | Temporal: | 2200BC - 801BC | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
