Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on land at Backgate, Cowbit, Lincolnshire, in order to determine the archaeological implications of proposed development at the site. The area is archaeologically sensitive, located close to the medieval core of Cowbit and within an area rich in archaeological Remains of Late Iron Age and Romano-British date. Fieldwalking and geophysical survey had previously recovered Romano-British pottery from the surface of the adjacent field and identified anomalies within the site itself which were thought likely to be of archaeological origin. Evaluation of the site has identified archaeological remains of Roman, medieval and post-medieval date. The Roman deposits relate to domestic or agricultural associated with nearby settlement. Pottery, animal bone, a triangular loomweight and wall plaster were among the artefacts of Roman date recovered. Roman pottery from features close to the Backgate frontage is characteristic of high status dining. If the wall plaster is of Roman date a building of some stature is likely to the source. At the southwest corner of the site Roman deposits are likely to be associated with a small Roman settlement in the adjacent field to the south, first identified during fieldwalking undertaken in 2001. Medieval and post medieval deposits include features which probably formed part of a wider system of land division comprising closely spaced west to east aligned ditches.
