Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out during the groundworks for a series of extensions to an existing house on Manor Close in the city of Lincoln. Manor Close lies to the north of the Roman walled city of Lindum Colonia, between two of the main Roman roads northwards out of the city, in an area likely to have been used as a cemetery during the Roman period: a skeleton that may have been Roman or early Saxon was found during archaeological intervention approximately 200m from the site. From the beginning of the Middle Ages until the early modern period, this area lay within the city's common land, and may either have been used for agricultural purposes or quarried for stone. The immediate neighbourhood of the site was developed for housing in the late 19th and early to mid-20th centuries, with Manor Close among the last areas to be developed. The only archaeological evidence identified during this intervention consisted in a Post-medieval field boundary ditch. Probably part of the enclosed fields during the Early Industrial period under an Act of Parliament of 1803, which stipulate the enclosure of many of Lincoln's open fields, including the southern boundary of Newport Cemetery. |
