Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken by Network Archaeology Ltd on land to the east of East Butterwick Road, Burringham, North Lincolnshire, during the excavation of footings for a new wind turbine. The archaeological work formed part of the discharge of conditions that accompanied planning permission for the development. During the monitoring of the octagonal excavation area, which measured approximately 16m across, a number of deposits were recorded, revealing something of the geoarchaeological sequence of the development area. The modern agricultural ploughsoil overlay warp deposits, which themselves sealed a c. 1.1m thick build-up of alluvium. These overlay, at a depth of around 2m below the current ground level, a dark peaty clay. The peaty clay lay at the construction depth of the excavation area, and so it was not possible to examine it further. Borehole data, carried out as part of the wind turbine development, does however reveal this peat to be over 6m thick. Based on excavated and dated parallels, a prehistoric origin might be offered for the peat, whereas the alluvium might be a consequence of accelerated soil erosion caused by Late Iron Age or Roman agricultural expansion. However, with no artefacts or archaeological features present within the monitored area, such dates cannot be proven in this instance. The degree of archaeological impact from the monitored development has been negligible. The recorded observations may have value in contributing to a deposit model of the River Trent floodplain and should assist in designing future schemes of archaeological mitigation for any other nearby developments.
