PRE 1965 AIR PHOTOS SHOWED WIDESPREAD EARTHWORKS OF DMV OF WAINFLEET ALL SAINTS PRESENT BETWEEN WAINFLEET BANK AND BACK LANE. MOST OF THE EARTHWORKS HAVE NOW BEEN LEVELLED. {1}
Three evaluation trenches were dug on land east of the Barkham Arms (TF 4685 5905). The site is within an area of medieval earthworks which appear to relate to the medieval settlement of Wainfleet St Mary. A single ditch/hollow way and man-made pond were uncovered. Some destruction of the ditch or hollow way had already occurred. {2}{3}
Following a watching brief on soil stripping on this site, it was noted that the previously identified ditch/hollow way had suffered during the recent levelling of the field. This had caused extensive damage to the upstanding earthworks, which could no longer be identified. Prior to the levelling the ditch/hollow way must have been visible as a pronounced linear hollow.{4} | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Temporal: | 1066 - 1500 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
