Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during the excavation of the foundation trenches. The earliest archaeological remains known in Crowland dated to the Neolithic and were represented by stone axes and flint tools. In the Early Bronze Age, Crowland became a focus for a barrow cemetery, part of a sequence of such monuments along the fen-edge in Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire. Crowland was also noted for its Abbey, which had its origins as a cell founded by St. Guthlac in the 8th century. The monastery grew in prosperity and by the medieval period controlled much of this part of South Lincolnshire, until its dissolution in 1539. No archaeological deposits or features were encountered and no artefacts were retrieved during the investigation. [Au] |
