| Abstract: |
The evaluation was undertaken in an area of dense archaeological activity. The earliest remains in the area consisted of prehistoric trackways and enclosures identified from aerial photographs. Finds of prehistoric date had also been made from the area and consisted of Acheulian (c.200,000 BC) hand-axes and Neolithic polished axes. Romano-British activity was restricted to finds of Roman coins and the presence of the course of a Roman road, Mareham Lane, that connected Bourne to Lincoln. Anglo-Saxon activity was represented by a large inhumation and cremation cemetery located to the northwest of the study area with a possible second cemetery to the northeast. Investigations revealed a series of deposits, of presumed agricultural activity overlying natural sand and gravels. Later, a building used as a poultry shed was constructed on the eastern side of the evaluation area. [Au] |
