Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological evaluation trenching was undertaken in advance of mineral extraction at Little Ponton Quarry, in the parish of Little Ponton and Stroxton in the South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire. An archaeological desk-based assessment focusing on the site indicated that it had a moderate potential to contain later prehistoric to Romano-British remains, possibly deriving from agricultural and/or industrial settlements supplying a nearby Roman town. A geophysical survey indicated that much of the proposed mineral extraction site appeared to be archaeologically sterile, but it recorded a possible pit cluster at the north-eastern corner and two anomalies that may have represented quarry pits. This document describes the results of a ten trench evaluation that took place to further inform a planning application for mineral extraction. Nine of the trenches were archaeologically negative, and one contained a single quarry pit which yielded post-medieval pottery. It is concluded that the site does not contain archaeologically significant remains.
