Abstract:
An archaeological trial trench evaluation was undertaken at a site to the rear of 152 Westgate, Belton. The trenches were excavated in a former paddock/ garden area to the rear of the Wheatsheaf Hotel, which fronts the northern side of Westgate. Several other archaeological investigations have taken place along Westgate in recent years, within the vicinity of the site; taking into consideration the results of these works, this site was considered to have potential for significant archaeological remains associated with Roman and medieval settlement, and burials. As such, the evaluation was required by North Lincolnshire Historic Environment Record in order to form part of the supporting information for a planning application for residential development on the site. Five trenches were excavated, each measuring 20m by 2m. A young horse or pony burial was recorded in one of the trenches, along with one small square feature of uncertain function. Both of these features are considered to be relatively modern. In addition, one sherd of medieval pottery was recovered from the subsoil in one of the trenches. No other archaeological finds or features were observed or recorded within the trenches.
