Abstract:		 An archaeological mitigation scheme of works specification was drawn up in June 2009 (PCA unpublished), to be undertaken on land at the rear of 41 Hykeham Road, Lincoln, Lincolnshire (centred on NGR: SK 9640 6794). It included a programme of intrusive archaeological mitigation by area excavation, borehole survey and archaeological monitoring and was designed to comply with the anticipated requirements of the Head of Planning Services, Directorate of Development and Environmental Services, City of Lincoln Council, as well as current best practice and appropriate national guidance. Consideration of the results of the archaeological evaluation and the details of the proposed development concluded that the only impact on significant archaeology in the northern part of the site would be limited to the footprints of the house plots listed below. All the services, roads and other impacts in that part of the site were expected to be fully contained within made ground created for the proposed development. The identified potential archaeological impact of the proposed development of the site was to be mitigated by: a) The archaeological excavation of 4 areas in the north-eastern part of the site:  Area A: 30m x 15m area excavation within the footprint of proposed Plots 25-30  Area B: 32m x 11 m area excavation within the footprint of proposed Plots 2-4  Area C: 30m x 15m area excavation within the footprint of proposed Plots 22-24  Area D: 20m x 1.5m area excavation 20m west of Trench 8, on the same alignment b) A borehole survey prior to development of the site, aligned across the site from east to west(Appendix 4, this report). c) Archaeological monitoring and recording during the construction of the proposed access roadway, and house plots in the southern half of the site A specification was drawn up for a programme of intrusive archaeological mitigation by area excavation, borehole survey and archaeological monitoring, and an archaeological mitigation scheme of works focusing on three areas was subsequently undertaken. However the work was hampered by poor weather and site waterlogging, also a breakdown in communication between the developers and their ground workers after the targeted excavation had finished led to a large swathe (c. 10m x 70m) of occupation layers being machined away immediately prior to the agreed start of the monitoring phase in the southern area of the site, in order to reach a firm base to construct a road strip through the centre of the site. This undoubtedly resulted in the loss of much archaeological evidence including the kiln found during the evaluation phase. Another kiln had been uncovered during the targeted excavations which provided some key information but it remains unclear how many more had survived up until the road strip groundworks started as the earlier evaluation report had identified that general site preservation was good. Substantial waster dumps were found dotted around the site and an attempt has been made to estimate where further kilns may have been located based on the distribution of these (Fig. 35), but this is speculative. No evidence of domestic buildings or workshops was found; other than a masonry wall of uncertain purpose most of the features identified were ditches utilised for site drainage. Despite these issues much can be gleaned from the pottery assemblage which, along with a workable site sequence, forms the bulk of this report. It is hard to escape the possibility that this was a relatively short-lived site, hampered by limited outcropping of light-firing clays in particular and by flooding caused by the proximity of the river. As such it may, along with the nearby Rookery Lane kiln site, have ended by being subsumed into the major Swanpool pottery industry which flourished in the 4th and early 5th centuries AD.
