Abstract: |
A desk-based assessment was undertaken as a planning condition prior to retail development. Archaeological evidence dating from the medieval and post-medieval periods had been identified near the site. Spilsby was a planned medieval market town with a series of strip plots radiating from the Market Place. The northern part of the site seemed to have lain within the strip plots with the southern part having been fields. Consequently there was moderate to high potential that archaeological remains would have existed. The proximity of the site to the parish church may also have indicated some potential for late Saxon remains to exist at the site. A walkover survey was carried out at the site to assess ground conditions and the presence of archaeological remains. A previously unrecorded Second World War pillbox was identified on the western side of the site. Brick outbuildings associated with the George Hotel were present to the north of the site and evidence of demolished structures was observed. Vegetation conditions prevented ground observations being made on the southern part of the site. No artefactual remains were observed. [Au(abr)] |
