| Abstract: |
Investigation of the route of a proposed water pipeline located numerous archaelogical remains and findspots in the near vicinity. Prehistoric, Romano-British and post-medieval activity had been identified within 500 metres on either side of the pipeline route. Concentrations of archaeological remains had been recognised in several locations. Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age (2400-1600 BC) activity had been identified north of Parson Drove, and may have included the remains of a round barrow. Iron Age pottery had been found on a number of Romano-British sites. Remains of Romano-British date were most likely to be encountered along the entire route of the pipeline. Aerial photographs revealed a landscape of field boundaries and settlements interconnected by droveways. A number of salt producing sites were also identified. The Saxon Midfendic, the ancient boundary between Holland and Kesteven, was thought to be located in the vicinity, along the course of the South Forty Foot Drain. No archaeological remains of the medieval period were known from the pipeline route, although the fens were part of a managed landscape. Post-medieval drainage led to new development in the fens, usually farms, of which several survived. [Au] |
