Abstract: |
A targeted programme of archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out during the refurbishment and widening of the runway at RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire. The projected course of the major Roman road of Ermine Street runs across the airfield, crossing the south end of the runway at an oblique angle: archaeological monitoring was therefore targeted on this area, the last of three sections of runway to be replaced. No archaeological features were seen, nor were any deposits pre-dating the construction of the airfield: it seems most likely that the ground levelling and consolidation works required to extend the runway beyond the original Second World War A-pattern in order to accommodate larger aircraft in the 1960s and 1970s extended over a wider area than the immediate footprint of the runway itself, and obliterated all trace of the Roman road. |
