Abstract: |
This project was prompted by plans to develop an area of land in the market town of Horncastle, Lincolnshire. The development site measures approximately 35m (N-S) x 45m (E-W), and lies c. 1.2km to the south-east of Horncastle town centre, at the eastern edge of a large industrial estate. A planning application for the construction of two portal-frame industrial buildings (with associated parking, access and drainage provision) was approved by East Lindsey District Council (ELDC) on the 15th of November 2004 (Application No.: S/086/01332/04). Consultation with Dr B. Lott, of Lincolnshire County Council Conservation Services demonstrated that the site lies within a rich historic landscape, with archaeological remains from the prehistoric, Roman and medieval periods well represented around Horncastle. In the vicinity of the site itself, post-medieval remains have recently been identified. In view of this potential, ELDC requested that an archaeological watching brief be carried out in conjunction with the development groundworks. Lincs Archaeo-tech was commissioned by the developer, Goodwin and Tucker Ltd., on the 26th of April 2005 to provide the required archaeological services, and attendance was undertaken on an intermittent basis between the 10th and the 24th of May 2005. In spite of the site''s apparent potential, however, no direct evidence for ancient occupation was found, with all the deposits and features present apparently of either modern or natural origin. |
