Abstract:		 An evaluation involving fieldwalking, a gradiometer survey, trial trenching and the monitoring of geotechnical test pits was carried out at the proposed site of a residential development. Aerial photographs had indicated the presence of enclosures of possible prehistoric date to the north-west, and the route of the Roman Fosse Way was believed to have been fossilised by Lincoln Road, which bounded the proposal site to the east. Two Roman coins had been found 300m to the south of the site, whilst 17th century siegeworks relating to the English Civil War were suspected to have survived in the vicinity. The geophysical survey identified a number of linear anomalies, which were likely to have represented former field divisions. At least one corresponded to a removed field boundary depicted on earlier maps. During fieldwalking, a large quantity of post-medieval and modern pottery was collected. A thumbnail scraper and a flint blade of Neolithic or Bronze Age date and a sherd of medieval pottery were also found. The artefacts displayed a random pattern of distribution, and were likely to have been deposited as manuring scatters. The evaluation trenches were excavated at the northernmost boundary of the site, in order to locate the potential remains of the Civil War earthworks. No archaeological features were revealed within either the trial trenches or the test-pits. [AIP]
