Abstract: |
This development is situated at the western edge of Woodhall Spa in the Lincolnshire district of East Lindsey, approximately 2km from the centre of the village, and 250m to the east of the River Witham. The site encompasses an area measuring 35m (N-S) x 85m (E-W), which originally formed part of the garden of 185 Witham Road. It is bounded by existing properties to the north, east and west, with a land drainage ditch lying to the south. Planning permission was granted for the erection of a bungalow and detached garage, together with the construction of a new access driveway. Consultation with Lincolnshire County Council Conservation Services showed that the site lay within an 'archaeologically sensitive' landscape, with the conjectured line of a prehistoric causeway approximately 90m-100m to the south of the site, nearby cropmarks of possible Iron Age origin, and the ruined remains of the medieval Cistercian Abbey at Kirkstead approximately 600m to the south-east. In view of this, it was recommended that an archaeological watching brief be carried out in conjunction with the groundworks. Lincs Archaeo-tech (LAT) was commissioned by the owner/developer, Mr Maltby, on the 3rd of August 2005 to provide the required archaeological services, and intermittent site attendance was undertaken between the 20th of September and the 14th of October 2005. In spite of the site's apparent archaeological potential, however, the project did not reveal any direct evidence for ancient occupation with all of the deposits present apparently of either modern/undated or natural (i.e., geological) origin. |
