Archaeological evaluation (trial trenching) along the proposed route of the A1073 relief road between Eye (near Peterborough) and Spalding. The evaluation identified four peat-filled 'ditches'. Excavation suggested that these may have had a natural origin, because some of them has fills that appeared to undercut natural clays. Their profiles were all wide and shallow, but some had steep edges. One feature in particular seemed extremely insubstantial, petering out to the west. Alternatively, these features may have been agricultural in origin, suggested by their common orientation, although their irregular spacing and uneven profiles might point to the more natural explanation. No finds were recovered from these features {1} {2} | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
