Abstract: |
This document presents the results of a scheme of archaeological trial trenching on Land at the former Lord Tennyson public house, 72 Rasen Lane, Lincoln, to advise the construction of new apartments and support a forthcoming planning application. The site lies less than 100m from the projected north wall of the Roman fort and colonia, and the area may have been occupied or utilised during this period before the settlement contracted within the town walls following the withdrawal of the Roman administration from Britain. The Norman castle lies less than 250m to the south of the site, and a number of religious establishments are known to have developed to the north of the castle in the early medieval period, although much of this area appears to have remained open common land prior to enclosure in the 17th - 18th century. Rasen Lane was in existence by the early 19th century, with historic mapping indicating the first buildings on the site in the middle of that century. Archaeological investigations on Cecil Street and further along Rasen Lane have confirmed the presence and survival of Roman and medieval remains in this area. Two 5m trenches were investigated. Of these, only one revealed any archaeology: two north-east to south-west aligned walls and an associated passageway or path of mid 19th century date, as well as the partial remnants of a small medieval pit and associated buried soil horizon. |
