Description: | PRN 46730
Two ditches dating to the mid to late 3rd century AD. One of the ditches had a recut, both being sealed by a buried soil. Artefactual and environmental evidence recovered from the fills of these ditches was indicative of a low status settlement site. These included pottery sherds, fragmentary animal bone, charred grains of wheat and barley, oyster shells, fired clay, a single fragment of Roman brick and three iron objects. The pottery assemblage was dominated by local grey ware fabrics in a range of forms. The assemblage also included Dales type wares and at least two fine ware beakers in the Nene Valley colour-coat style. Fired clay from within the ditches was probably from a wattle and daub structure and a single fragment of tile along with single Roman brick may also suggest buildings nearby. Domestic activity was inferred from the environmental remains recovered from the fills, with probable food residues having been discarded into the ditches.{1}{2} | Temporal: | 250 - 299 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
