Abstract: |
Trent and Peak Archaeology was commissioned by Anglian Water to carry out a scheme of archaeological monitoring and recording of the works taking place to install the new vacuum sewer system in Greatford, Lincolnshire. A total of 15 trial pits were monitored archaeologically up to a depth of 1.2 m below ground level (BGL). These were located at the northern limit of the village, around Carlby Road and Greatford Gardens, as well as on Stowe Road between Greatford and Langtoft. No archaeological features were identified. A total of 26 pits for vacuum pots were monitored archaeologically up to a depth of 1.4m BGL throughout the study area. Buried soil horizons and one north-south aligned ditch were observed. No features contained any dateable finds. Five features were identified along Carlby Road, Greatford Gardens and on Main Street comprising a 3m wide, east-west aligned ditch north of The West Glen River (undated but potentially late prehistoric given its size), a series of four smaller ditches aligned east-west, just north of the village hall on Carlby Road. Natural gravel terracing and alluvial deposits were also observed towards the north of the village, as well as around the West Glen River. While no finds were recovered from any of the features around the village hall, they are most likely medieval in date, due to their proximity to the medieval core of the village including the church. A further five small interventions were monitored along the length of the riser main, but no archaeological finds or features were observed within these. |
