Abstract: |
Archaeological trial trenching was carried out on land at the site of the former cattle market, Wragby, Lincolnshire, in advance of proposed residential development. The project was commissioned by Perkins George Mawer and Co in order to obtain archaeological information in support of a proposed planning application for construction of a pair of dwellings at the site. The village of Wragby, in the parish of Wragby and in the administrative district of East Lindsey, lies c. 18km northeast of Lincoln. The site (NGR TF 13381 77929) is located close to the historic core of the village, in an area of vacant scrubland located to the southeast of commercial buildings fronting onto the Market Place. The area is known locally as 'The Fairlands' and until recently was in occasional use as a cattle market, the last sales being held in 1979. The trial trenching revealed a small ditch from which two sherds of pottery of late 10th to 12th century date were recovered. A large cut feature measuring seven metres wide and 0.8m deep is likely to be the infilled remains of a pond, probably of 18th or 19th century date. |
