Pre-determination archaeological evaluation (trial trenching) on land at The Old Rectory, Holbeach was undertaken in advance of a proposed residential development. The evaluation comprised three 10m by 1.6m trenches, located in areas of the development likely to be affected by the new build. The trenches identified a number of drainage ditches dated to the 11th century. The presence of drainage systems in the area is not surprising as the Saxon coastline is though to have been present to the immediate north of the site. By the 1300's, land reclamation was occurring to the north with the construction of the Roman Bank around Moulton Seas End, Saracens Head and Holbeach Clough {1} {2} | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Temporal: | 1050 - 1099 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
