Abstract: |
To advise a planning application for residential development and landscaping, a programme of archaeological evaluation trenching took place on land to the south of Station Road in Tetney, Lincolnshire. Tetney has a long history of marine salt processing: some of the earliest evidence for salt-making in Britain was found near the village in the form of a Bronze Age saltern. Some thirteen salt-pans are recorded within the manor of Tetney in Domesday Book, and an extensive salt-production industry is known to have continued well into the medieval period. A geophysical survey carried out on the proposed development site encountered magnetic responses that may have derived from industrial remains, potentially indicating the presence of a salt processing site. The five trench evaluation was effectively negative. Only one trench contained a single linear feature, which may have been of natural origin. |
