Abstract: |
Full (conditional) planning permission was granted in January 2013 for extensions and alterations to the existing dwelling at Mapleton Farm, including a swimming pool and a changing room connected to the dwelling by a glazed link, and a brick skin to the front elevation (planning ref. S/087/2239/12). Mapleton Farm and its neighbourhood has been identified as an area of archaeological sensitivity. The Lincolnshire Historic Environment Record lists the farm as a moated site, possibly representing a medieval manor; it has been suggested that it occupies the site of a 12th-century grange of Stixwould Priory. The farm also lies within the earthwork remains of the deserted medieval settlement of Poolham.An archaeological condition for a scheme of works was attached to the planning permission. This scheme of works entailed the production of a detailed specification for the works followed by trial trenching consisting of 2 trenches. Trench 1 was devoid of archaeology containing only a modern posthole and Trench 2 contained a single undated gully. The nature of this gully is unclear, it appears to be roughly in alignment with the modern fence post seen in Trench 1, so may indicate an earlier form of this boundary, running northeast-southwest, but equally the gully is close to and on alignment with earthworks relating to the deserted medieval village. Although not extensive or conclusive the potential for survival of medieval archaeology that this gully represents signifies that further archaeological work is required on site during the groundworks for the development. |
