Description: | LINEAR CROPMARK BOUNDARIES BETWEEN NETTLEHAM GLEBE AND DANBY HILL. {1}{2}{3} {4}{5}{6}{7} AN EXCAVATION WAS CARRIED OUT IN 1979. THE DITCHES WERE CUT INTO THE NATURAL SOFT LIMESTONE AND CLAY AND WERE REMARKABLY SHALLOW. THE TWO FLANKING DITCHES WERE OF SIMILAR DIMENSIONS AND CUT SLIGHTLY INTO THE SOLID BEDROCK IN PLACES. THE MIDDLE DITCH WAS SLIGHTLY NARROWER. THE CROPMARKS INDICATED THAT THE DITCHES WERE DISCONTINUOUS, AND A TERMINAL OF THE MIDDLE DITCH WAS FOUND. THE EAST DITCH APPEARED TO HAVE A NARROW CAUSEWAY. A SERIES OF POSTHOLES WAS FOUND LYING BETWEEN THE FLANKING DITCHES, FOUR OF WHICH CONTAINED STONE PACKING. THEY DID SEEM TO ECHO THE LINE OF THE WEST DITCH. THE POSTHOLES APPEAR TO FORM SOME SORT OF STRUCTURE WITH A POSSIBLE SCREEN OR FENCE TO THE EAST SIDE. A FURTHER SERIES OF POSTHOLES WAS FOUND, BUT DID NOT FORM A COHERENT STRUCTURE. {3} | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Temporal: | 4000BC - 42BC | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
