Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out during the excavation of a new house with garages on land between nos. 7 and 9, Greetwell Road in the city of Lincoln. Greetwell Road runs along the course of a former Roman road eastwards out of the city, in an area that lies on or near the border of one of the Roman city's burial grounds with the farmlands that supplied the Roman fort and, later, the Roman city: two finds of human remains, one believed to be and one reliably dated as Roman, have been recorded within the 250m radius study area taken for a Heritage Impact Assessment of the site. During the Middle Ages and into the post-medieval period, the area remained largely as agricultural land, but limestone quarrying and lime-burning are also known to have taken place in the vicinity. The large detached houses whose plots currently form and border the site were built at the beginning of the 20th century. This monitoring and recording identified several features cut into the subsoil - several probable linear features, one pit and two further features that could not be definitely classified. Although a small amount of medieval pottery and CBM was retrieved, the features also produced 18th- and 19th-century material, and seem most likely to be garden features associated with the house, which was built in 1900. |
