Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during the construction of an irrigation reservoir. The development lay close to the remains of medieval Kirkstead Abbey, in an area of cropmarks probably associated with the Abbey. Previous investigations had revealed several buried ditches close to the site. A number of undated linear features, mostly boundary ditches were revealed during the development. In addition a substantial ditch, believed to have been a continuation of an extant earthwork ditch was revealed to the north of the site, and a possible enclosure ditch was exposed in the southeast corner of the reservoir. Unfortunately no finds were recovered from the features, or any part of the site. This suggested that the ditches were not closely associated with domestic or industrial activity, but were boundaries of varying status. [Au(abr)] |
