Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned to carry out an archaeological watching brief on groundworks associated with the development of land at St Marks Street, Lincoln, Lincolnshire (NGR SK 97372 70852). An archaeological desk-based assessment, incorporating the results of monitoring during geotechnical excavations, indicated that there was low potential for significant archaeological remains to be disturbed during development. The stratigraphic sequence was predicted to comprise river deposits from 3.1m to at least 12m below the modern ground level, overlain by at least 2m of made ground dated to the 17th to 19th centuries. The excavation of trenches for the construction of ground beams and the lift pit were monitored. All of the excavated trenches revealed the same general stratigraphic sequence - a 0.3m thick layer of building debris overlying made ground. None of the trenches were deeper than the made ground deposit. No evidence of pre-19th century structures was identified indicating that 19th and 20th century development had removed all remains from this period or that the site was previously unoccupied. |
