Abstract: |
A watching brief was undertaken by Allen Archaeology Limited at the White Hart Hotel Garage, Lincoln. The work was commissioned by Contemporary Hotels Ltd as part of a planning condition attached to the proposed redevelopment of the site as hotel accommodation and car parking. The watching brief was conducted during the digging of two foundation trenches. Trench 1, in the western side of the proposed development area was dug o a depth of 2m. It revealed a dumped deposit from which a medieval tile was recovered revealed sealed by a homogenous silty deposit. The trench lies on the line of the former castle dyke and the deposits seem likely to represent Post-medieval filling in of this feature. Trench 2 was located in the eastern half of the site, close the Bailgate access. It was dug to a depth of 1m and revealed a stony deposit sealed by a north to south orientated brick wall constructed on a stone footing. The wall seems most likely to be related to the 18th century structure which still stands on the site but could be part of a later addition to it. The watching brief has shown the potential for buried remains to survive at the site but the full thickness of deposits could not be assessed as part of the present work. The work has also highlighted that there may be relatively little modern disturbance at least in some parts of the site The watching brief revealed remains dating to the post-medieval period and possibly remains of medieval date. The limited size of the trenches allowed only a limited view into the nature of the sub-surface deposits and as a result both interpretation and dating features and deposits is severely hampered. The work does however highlight the potential for buried remains to survive at the site with little modern disturbance in the investigated areas. |
