Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on the 30th January 2018 on land to the rear of the Red Lion in Icklingham in advance of the construction of a new guest barn on derelict/scrub land adjacent to two existing barns. A single trench measuring 9.5m by 1.8m was excavated across the proposed footprint of the new building, revealing a post-medieval rubbish pit, modern drainage and a probable domestic rabbit burial. The shallow depth of topsoil and lack of subsoil deposits suggests that the area had been truncated at some point with only a shallow depth of highly rooted topsoil covering the natural nodular chalk deposits. No further archaeological investigation is expected to be required of this development. |
