Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by North Midland Construction PLC to carry out a programme of archaeological 'strip, map and record,' (SMR) as part of a programme of works to mitigate the impact of the extension of an existing sewage treatment works and erection of associated structures. The site is located at the Severn Trent Water sewage treatment works (STW), West End Road, Epworth, North Lincolnshire, national grid reference (NGR) 476020 406626. The archaeological works followed the completion of a desk-based assessment, monitoring of five geotechnical test-pits and an archaeological evaluation comprising five 10m by 3m trenches. These works informed the mitigation strategy implemented in this phase of work, which were carried out in accordance with an approved Written Scheme of Investigation. The SMR comprised the monitoring of the open cut ground works to the level of peat formation and underlying natural sand. The works revealed a buried soil and underlying peat deposits but no evidence for human activity. The buried soil and peaty deposits were sampled in order to and see if they could be potentially related to the evidence for prehistoric activity at Torne Bank Fishery. No artefactual dating evidence was recovered from the samples; wood charcoal fragments included no round wood fragments and were not suitable for radiocarbon dating. No suitable waterlogged plant remains were recorded.
