Abstract:		 In November 2014, a trial trench evaluation took place on c.25 hectares of farmland at Canopus Farm, Frith Bank, Boston. This was commissioned by AAH Planning Consultants and was conducted in accordance with a Written Scheme of Investigation approved by the Historic Environment Officer for East Lindsey. The results will be used to inform an upcoming planning application. A preceding geophysical survey of the proposed development zone had identified the area as having low archaeological potential. This potential was further investigated through the excavation of trial trenching; the results of which matched the findings of the geophysical survey. Five trenches (1, 5, 6, 7 and 8) contained no archaeology. Two (2 and 4) contained modern agricultural features, which had been highlighted during the geophysical survey. Only one trench (3) contained archaeology; this consisted of multiple ditches, all on an approximate N-S alignment. All of these were cut from just below the topsoil and contained very little in the way of finds. Two fragments of late medieval pottery (provisionally dated) were recovered from the most significant of the ditches, suggesting a fairly recent date.
