Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief took place on the groundworks pertaining to the construction of a new bungalow. The archaeological monitoring of the groundworks on this site did not identify any archaeological activity or indeed any such activity or finds which would be associated with the medieval and/or post-medieval settlements of Crowland. The archaeological monitoring identified several variations of deposit sequence which comprised a very deep and substantial topsoil/ploughsoil horizon, a thin horizontal band of peat which appeared to be confined to the south-eastern portions of the site, a modern made ground deposit which overlay the topsoil/ploughsoil horizon and an underlying natural horizon of marine alluvium. These variations were recorded within a total of five representative sections. The deep and substantial nature of the topsoil/ploughsoil horizon is typical of sites which have undergone a long and continuous periods of arable cultivation outside of the focuses of the nearby medieval and post-medieval settlements of Crowland. |
