Abstract:		 Archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out during the excavation of foundation trenches for the construction of private flats and dwellings, and six new houses at The Blue Bell Inn, Whitecross Road, Barton-upon-Humber. Barton lies at the northern end of a prehistoric trackway across the Lincolnshire Wolds, and evidence of activity here has been dated back to the Neolithic. Evidence indicates permanent settlement here initiated in the mid Iron Age, with enclosures dating from this period identified on the eastern edge of the town. Barton developed as a Roman town at a crossing point of the River Humber, and the remnants of a high status building have been recovered from the vicinity. As a port on the Humber Estuary, Barton grew as a large Saxon and medieval town, only falling into decline in the 19th and 20th centuries as transport methods moved away from the waterways. The Blue Bell is a Grade II Listed Building dating from the 18th century, at the height of Barton's wealth. Previous archaeological investigation of the carpark identified medieval activity, possibly structural, and features relating to the post-medieval inn. During ground reduction on the east of the site two east-west parallel brick walls and an associated cobble floor of post medieval date were observed. A construction cut and robbed out stonewall associated with a compact chalk layer was recorded in the footing excavations. A large pit was stratigraphically seen to predate the robbed out stonewall but remained undated. A small corpus of pottery retrieved from redeposited topsoil proved to be modern with a single sherd dating to the 17th-18th century.
