Description: | PRN 36797
Two large ditches and several pits dating from the 5th to 6th century AD were uncovered during trial excavation. The ditches may form part of an enclosure or field system, possibly relating to the numerous cropmarks in the area, although these are usually considered to be Iron Age and/or Roman in date. {1}{2}
A subsequent archaeological watching brief monitored the area where the ditches were found. The larger area exposed during the work revealed a stratigraphic relationship between the two ditches that was previously unknown, as well as a sharp right-angle bend in one suggesting the possibility that this may be an enclosure of Romano-British date. However, no datable material was recovered from either ditch and there is a possibility that they may yet relate to Anglo-Saxon activity revealed during the earlier evaluation.{3}{4} | Temporal: | 411 - 599 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
