Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken in November 1994 and February 1995 during development at 2-4 High Street, Horncastle. The watching brief monitored the excavation of the foundation trenches for a new building. Remains dating from the prehistoric to medieval periods had previously been recorded at the site. The work identified a sequence of modern building debris and features, including a brick-lined duct, sealed by a concrete slab. Two pits, a posthole, a ditch and a gully, all of indeterminate date, cut the natural sands. Although lacking dating evidence, the gully and ditch shared a common alignment with a previously discovered Late Saxon ditch and may have been of the same period. A clay-packed foundation trench from an earlier, though also undated, building was also revealed. [Au(abr)] |
