Abstract: |
Between the 24th September and 27th November 2014 , Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook a programme of archaeological monitoring and recording at Grange Farm, Fishergate, Sutton St James, Lincolnshire (NGR TF 39271 18807), during the construction of a solar farm. This included the monitoring of all groundwork's related to infrastructure and any associated ancillary works. The main elements of the monitoring included the excavation of the roadway through the site, excavation of the high voltage cable route across the site, ancillary services related to the HV cable and footings for a substation the north west of the site. The site had potential for Roman, medieval and post-medieval remains given its proximity to the historic core of Sutton St James, however no archaeological finds or features dating to these periods were encountered. The absence of evidence for archaeological activity does not necessarily indicate that the site has remained free from earlier occupation. The presence of Roman remains to the north west suggests the area was habitable in antiquity, unlike many other areas in the Fens. However the site appears to have remained largely free from development or intrusive groundwork's. |
