Description: | ROMAN PAVEMENTS OF AN ORNAMENTAL CHARACTER HAVE BEEN DUG UP HERE AT VARIOUS TIMES SINCE 1878. ROMAN COINS BELONGING TO VARIOUS PERIODS HAVE BEEN TURNED UP BY THE FARMER IN THE COURSE OF TILLING THIS FIELD. THERE ARE ROMAN TILES IN THE WALLS OF TORKSEY CASTLE, AND ROMAN COINS FOUND HERE, RANGING FROM C1 TO C5 AD WERE IN THE POSSESSION OF THE LATE SIR CHARLES ANDERSON OF LEA. THERE WAS SURFACE EVIDENCE OF THIS SITE IN 1962, NOR COULD THE PRESENT LOCATION OF THE FINDS BE TRACED. RESISTIVITY SURVEY AND TWO SEASONS EXCAVATIONS 1960-1962 HAVE RESULTED IN NO ROMAN FINDS. ALL DISCOVERIES ARE RELATED TO THE CISTERCIAN NUNNERY. {1}{2} | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Temporal: | 43 - 409 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
