Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation consisting of five trial trenches was undertaken on land at Eastfield Farm, Winteringham, North Lincolnshire, to inform the planning process associated with the demolition of existing farm buildings and the construction of a new potato store. Two of the trenches revealed a series of deposits interpreted as the construction layers of a road dating to the early Roman period, potentially representing the approach of Ermine Street to the Humber crossing. Two linear features encountered in Trench 5 were tentatively interpreted as possible roadside ditches. Other Roman features and deposits were also identified, but were too severely truncated or insufficiently exposed to be interpreted; however, specialist study of the finds and palaeobotanical analysis of soil samples indicates habitation (cooking and eating) and the possible keeping of domestic animals. The Roman remains were sealed below layers of buried subsoil, buried topsoil and modern made ground associated with the construction of the existing farmyard surface that covers the excavation area. The made ground deposits were relatively shallow above the Roman road, but became much deeper towards the north of the evaluation area. |
