Post medieval remains related to the house and its garden were discovered during trial trenching. The 17th century house is known to have been modified during the Georgian period and this is reflected by the activity within the development area during that period, with ground raising enabling the land to be utilised. Evidence of pathways and a retaining wall were recorded and suggests a possible formal garden had been laid out during the 18th century. Pottery of the 17th - 18th century date dominates the assemblage and indicates activity of solely this period at the site, suggesting that the area was first occupied in the 17th century and abandoned or altered in function by the 19th century. Post-medieval ceramic building materials dominate the non-pottery assemblage associated with 18th century deposits, and these are likely to have derived from modifications to the buildings fronting Eastgate during the Georgian period. {2}{3} | Subjects: | Building | Temporal: | 1600 - 1799 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
