Description: | Six trial trenches were excavated during an evaluation on land at Lincoln Road, Horncastle by Trent and Peak Archaeology in March 2010. In Trench 4 undated linear features were revealed along with two pits which contained two nails, tile and fired clay. The report suggests that the fired clay may be briquetage which in turn influenced the interpretation of two of the excavated features as part of a salt working site suggested to be Roman. Since Horncastle is in the Wolds and about 36m above sea level this is most unlikely to be a saltern site. An undated pit and and an undated hollow which contained animal bone and snail shells was also found. Within Trench 6 an undated linear feature was recorded. {1}{2}{3} | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
