Abstract: |
A watching brief was undertaken during groundworks relating to improvements to the Norton Lane junction of the A15 at Bishop Norton, West Lindsey, Lincolnshire. These works were located in an area held to be of significant archaeological potential. The A15 follows the line of the major Roman thoroughfare Ermine Street, alongside which a number of sites of archaeological interest are recorded in the vicinity. The watching brief monitored the reduction of the modern road surface and underlying deposits to a depth of up to 1.2m. In addition, the excavation of trenches to accommodate drainage pipes and manholes to the east and west of the road were monitored during the course of the watching brief. The watching brief revealed a sequence of geological, undated and post-medieval deposits. Undated contexts included a linear feature underlying the sandstone hardcore of the modern road. |
