Description: | 36117
Iron working slag has been recorded during archaeological investigations at 8 Church Lane (SK 9277 1929, see 36111) and land to the rear of Sycamore House (SK 9273 1949, see 36113). There is substantial evidence for the site at 8 Church Lane having been associated with the smelting and possible smithing of iron during the twelfth and thirteenth century. The evidence is in the form of ironworking waste in the fills of several pits. The absence of any clear structural evidence does, however, suggest that production was being undertaken off-site, although nearby. Similar remains were recovered during a watching brief to the rear of Sycamore House, which suggests that there may have been an industrial zone in the vicinity, producing iron-work beyond a subsistence level. It is also suggested that the remains continue beyond the western edge of the site. {1}{2} | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Temporal: | 1100 - 1500 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
