Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological mitigation was implemented during a series of groundworks associated with the construction of a new dwelling on land at 10, James Street in the city of Lincoln. The site lies within the Scheduled Ancient Monument area of the Roman city of Lindum Colonia, and adjoins the Close Wall, which defined the medieval city's ecclesiastical district. It was formerly part of the gardens of Burghersh Chantry House, an 18th-century Listed Building which lies to the south of the site and had a medieval antecedent. Two distinct construction phases, separated by a period of demolition and consolidation, were identified during the groundworks. The more recent phase could confidently be identified as part of the stable block associated with Burghersh Chantry House, which appears on 19th century Ordnance Survey mapping, and was demolished prior to the construction of the mid-20th-century bungalow formerly occupying the site. A group of earlier stone structures were recorded during trenching for the ground beam foundations of the new house. These structures may represent outbuildings built at the same time as Burghersh Chantry House, in or around 1345, and demolished at the time of its rebuilding in the 18th century, which may well have incorporated a remodelling of its gardens. |
