Description: | During a watching brief, a stone culvert was discovered beneath Main Road, in front of Number 6. It appeared to have a broad curving cover, which was supported by a wall of stone rubble. Number 6 Main Road has a date stone inscribed '1863', and it is therefore suggested that the culvert either drained the site of Number 6 before the site was developed, or it was built with the house. The hardcore around the culvert contained brick rubble, suggesting that the culvert is probably no earlier than the 18th century. It has also been suggsested that both the culvert and the brick rubble were laid together, possibly as part of an extensive road improvement, raising the road surface by c. 0.5m.{1}{2} | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Temporal: | 1700 - 1900 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
