Description: | Trial trenching was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology in October 2007 on land to the north of the railway, Torksey. A circular kiln oven which was made of fired clay was revealed in Trench three. Some of the fired clay had timber and wattle impressions suggesting the construction method of the kiln. The kiln dated from the mid to late 10th to mid 11th century. Pits, post holes, ditches and boundaries were also found. Some of these features contained pottery and pottery waste dating from the late 9th to mid 11th century although the majority of the activity from this period of occupation on the site dated from the mid 10th century onwards. {1}{2}
During trial trenching on land off Main Street, Torksey, by Pre-Construct Archaeology in July 2011, early medieval activity was revealed. A pit which contained 9th to 10th century pottery, animal bone and an 11th century iron prick spur and three ditches which contained a sherd of 9th to 10th century pottery and a fragment of animal bone was revealed. {3}{4} | Temporal: | 850 - 1050 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
