A WATCHING BRIEF ON LAND SOUTH OF HALTON ROAD IN 1995 REVEALED A SERIES OF DITCHES DATING TO C12 AND C13. {5}{6}
AT LEAST FIVE EARTH CUT ARCHAEOLOGICAL FEATURES WERE EXPOSED WITHIN TRENCHES ASSOCIATED WITH FOUNDATIONS FOR NEW HOUSE. MEDIEVAL POTTERY OF EARLY THIRTEENTH AND MID FOURTEENTH CENTURY WAS FOUND. THE SITE MAY WELL HAVE BEEN OCCUPIED DURING THE MEDIEVAL PERIOD. {1}{2}
FURTHER WORK AT TF 42806642 IDENTIFIED A BACK-FILLED V-SHAPED DITCH ORIENTATED NORTH-WEST TO SOUTH-EAST APPROXIMATELY 1.8 M WIDE AND 0.9 M DEEP. THERE WAS A SMALL QUANTITY OF MID C14 TO EARLY C15 POTTERY IN THE FILL. THERE WERE ALSO A NUMBER OF GULLIES FOUND ON THE SITE. THERE WAS A PIT FILLED WITH DIRTY, SANDY CLAY WHICH CONTAINED POTTERY SHERDS DATING BETWEEN THE MID C14 AND THE EARLY C15. THE FEATURES FOUND REPRESENT PROPERTY AND/OR FIELD BOUNDARIES AND IMPLY DIRECT OCCUPATION OF THE SITE PERHAPS CONCENTRATED ON THE FRONTAGE. {3}{4}
DURING A WATCHING BRIEF ON LAND AT HALTON ROAD A PIT WAS IDENTIFIED AT TF42816640. THE PIT CONTAINED A SINGLE SHERD OF MEDIEVAL POTTERY. {7}{8} | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Temporal: | 1066 - 1539 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
