DURING A WATCHING BRIEF ON A WATER MAINS REPLACEMENT, THE TRUNCATED REMAINS OF A LIMESTONE WALL WERE EXPOSED. THE WALL/FOUNDATION WHICH WAS ORIENTATED NORTH-SOUTH, CONSISTED OF ROUGH-CUT LIMESTONE BLOCKS BONDED WITH LIME MORTAR, CONTAINED WITHIN A CONSTRUCTION TRENCH OF C.80CM WIDE. SCANT TRACES OF AN INTRUSIVE TRENCH SUGGESTED THAT THE SUB-STRUCTURE WAS ROBBED FOLLOWING DEMOLITION. A DATE FOR THE WALL WAS NOT DETERMINED, THOUGH IT IS ASSUMED THAT THE STRUCTURE WAS RELATIVELY LATE AS ITS CONSTRUCTION TRENCH WAS CUT THROUGH SUBSTANTIAL DEPOSITS OF DEMOLITION-TYPE RUBBLE/LEVELLING. IT MAY HAVE BEEN CONTEMPORARY WITH A DISCRETE SPREAD OF METALLING, WHICH WAS ONLY EXPOSED ON ITS EAST SIDE. {1} | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
