Abstract: |
Archaeological trenching was undertaken to assess the archaeological potential for land at the Riseholme Road Allotments in the Ermine East estate of Lincoln. A planning application for the residential development of the site is currently under preparation. The site lies on the east side of Roman Ermine Street to the north of the Roman walled city. Excavations in the surrounding area have revealed Roman dated occupation and funerary remains to both the north and south of the site. Settlement retreated within the walled city in the post-Roman period, expanding again briefly in the early medieval period. The area was developed as a modern housing estate in the early 1960's with the site being utilised as allotments throughout the late 20th century. Five evaluation trenches measuring 10m each were positioned across the site to investigate the survival and character of any encountered archaeological remains. No archaeological remains were identified during the course of the evaluation, and the five trenches were all archaeologically negative. |
