Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out during the ground level reduction works prior to the construction of a new outbuilding to the rear of the property at 37 Cecil Street, Lincoln. Construction work on the house itself was not subject to archaeological mitigation. The site overlies the boundary ditch on the north side of the Roman fort, which occupied the area of Lincoln Castle and Cathedral from the 1st century AD; a secondary ditch was cut in the 2nd century AD. This ditch was topographically mapped in the later 19th century, prior to backfilling and the development of Cecil Street and the surrounding residential areas. The area of the fort and associated features are protected as a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The monitored excavations revealed the early 20th century backfill of the Roman ditch; the cut of the ditch was not encountered. The foundations of a garden wall and a modern ceramic sewer pipe were recorded, but no further archaeological finds or features were uncovered. |
