Abstract: |
A desk-based assessment was undertaken to determine the archaeological implications prior to development. Archaeological evidence from the Romano-British to modern periods had been identified within the vicinity of the site, with some prehistoric evidence known from the Holdringham area. A Romano-British villa was built north of the village and a possible associated cemetery lay to the south. It was possible that the Lincoln Road followed the line of a Roman thoroughfare. Remains of ridge and furrow from the medieval field system were identified within the site, from aerial photographs. Cartographic sources suggested that the present pattern of field boundaries had remained constant since the late 18th century. The eastern boundary was once a thoroughfare that was later preserved as a footpath across the site. Geophysical survey had been ruled out as a viable means of assessing buried archaeological remains, due to surviving earthworks and features associated with the bowling green. Fieldwalking was not feasible due to vegetation cover across most of the site. [Au(abr)] |
