Abstract: |
A scheme of archaeological trial trenching was undertaken to assess the archaeological potential of land at Laughton Crescent, in the Ermine East estate of Lincoln. A planning application for residential development is currently under preparation. The site lies in the Upper City, within an area which was not developed until the mid 20th century. It lies close to the Roaring Meg spring which is thought to have possibly had ritual significance in the prehistoric era, and to possible barrow features associated with a scatter of Neolithic - Bronze Age flints. The spring was channelled in the Roman period, creating an aqueduct which extended southwest towards the Roman settlement on the cliff edge. Two evaluation trenches were positioned to investigate the footprints of the proposed new dwellings. Only two archaeological features were identified; both of which relate to medieval agricultural activity. It is thus surmised that the proposed residential development will have no significant impact upon buried archaeological remains. |
