Description: | PRN 54159
Excavations on this site found mainly Torksey pottery artefacts dating from 16th - 18th century. Ploughscores and a post hole from this period were also located. {1}{2}
During further evaluation of the site, a sub circular pit containing burnt limestone and 16th-17th century Humber type pottery sherds were recorded. It is possible that the pit was a lime kiln, thought to date to the 16th-17th centuries, which would tie in with the dissolution of the monasteries in 1536. The kiln would have been used to burn smaller pieces of building materials to produce lime, and better quality materials would be reused else where. {3}{4}
A resistivity survey was undertaken on a proposed residential development site at Torksey. The results concur with earlier investigations that the site contains extensive building remains and other archaeoogical features. It was not possible to precisely define the footprint of specific buildings {5}
During monitoring and recording of the excavations of the extension at No.3 Abbey park in October 2009, Pre-Construct Archaeology Services revealed post medieval pottery sherds. {6}{7} | Subjects: | General Archaeology Building | Temporal: | 1536 - 1699 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
