During a watching brief and excavation, a pit alignment and other features thought to date to the Neolithic period were recorded. The pit alignment consisted of 17 pits aligned north-north-east/south-south-west, with the pits becoming larger towards the northern end of the alignment. A flint adze or axe displaying a lack of comtemporary damage was found in one of the pits with sherds of Neolithic Grooved ware and Fengate Peterborough ware, hinting at deliberate deposition. The size of the pit alignment suggests it was not a major landscape feature, but a more discrete feature with a possible ritual significance. The pottery assemblage was recovered from the south-western and north-eastern limits of the alignment, possibly also indicating a special significance. {1} | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Temporal: | 3000BC - 2700BC | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
