Description: | PRN 24066
Distinct cropmark double-ditched linear feature, Whaplode. A large, c.20m wide double-ditched feature, forming an enclosure abutting the 'Roman Bank' Sea Defences (PRN 24025). Possibly an area enclosed by a sea bank and ditches, forming the parish boundary between Whaplode and Holbeach. Two further double-ditched features are connected to the north and northeast of the enclosure (connecting with a possibly earlier sea defence bank PRN 24067). Seen on Google Maps (web site) aerial photograph layer.{1}[2}
The ditches and possible bank appear to have been ploughed out by the early 20th century as they do not appear on the 1905 Ordnance Survey County Series Map.{3}
Faint linear features can be discerned on recent LIDAR scans.{4} | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Temporal: | 1066 - 1900 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
