Abstract: |
A watching brief during groundworks beside Louth Town Hall was hampered by the contractor's restrictions on access and unstable ground conditions. Several features thought to be of archaeological interest were photographed but definition, accurate recording and close inspection were not possible. Two sherds of Anglo-Saxon pottery represent the first evidence of early occupation in the vicinity; small exposures of chalk rubble wall foundations may be of medieval or early post-medieval date but only 1 medieval sherd was recovered. A ditch, well and pits were found at the rear of the developed area. Other pits were found near the street frontage. Part of the site had been cellared for the former Marquis of Granby public house; several brick-lined cess pits were found around the outside of the cellared area, containing late 18th/early 19th century refuse.
