Abstract: |
Five archaeological evaluation trenches were opened by machine under archaeological supervision on a plot of land at land at The Poplars, Poplars Lane, Legbourne, Lincolnshire. Relatively low densities of ditch-like features and one shallow pit were identified in three trenches situated towards the northern part of the site. The only pottery recovered was of medieval date (13-15th century). Part of a small late Saxon bead, not thought to derive from a burial context, was recovered after sieving a soil sample from a ditch in Trench 2. A 17th century or later brick rubble foundation associated with a track in Trench 4 appeared to continue the line of Poplars Lane, and may have served a lodge house beyond the proposed development site. A former stream channel was exposed towards the south of the site, which may have been diverted when the railway was constructed in the 19th century. Development of the site may have a limited impact on medieval archaeological remains, which appear to be restricted to the northern part of the site (closer to the historic core of Legbourne). To mitigate the effects of this, a restricted programme of strip, map and recording, with supplementary recording during development, has been agreed with the Planning Archaeologist for East Lindsey District Council. |
