Abstract: |
A trial trench evaluation was undertaken on the site of a proposed agricultural store off Shaddy's Walk, Claxby St Andrew, Lincolnshire. Three trenches were excavated, one 40m long, the others 20m long and all 1.8m wide. The site lies immediately west of an earthwork shown on late 19th century mapping and OS maps up until the 1970s. Amateur excavations in the early 19th century had recovered a sizeable finds assemblage from within the enclosure reported as Roman but now thought to have been medieval. The enclosure may have had stock keeping function related to medieval settlement in the area. Its western arm (now under a 19th century farmstead) was projected to clip the easternmost extremity of the proposed development but no evidence was found in the excavated trenches. The only feature recorded in the trenches was a probable posthole of probable post medieval date. A fragment of medieval pottery was recovered from topsoil. |
