Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation consisting of three 10m x 2m trenches was undertaken on the site of the former Lord Nelson public house, on Market Rasen Road in Dunholme in Lincolnshire. The evaluation encountered the remains of a limestone wall footing near the centre of the site, overlain by an apparent demolition layer. A compacted stone spread that appeared to be part of a metalled surface or hard-standing and three small features that may have been post-holes were also encountered. All features were sealed below a layer that appeared to be made ground. Little dating evidence was retrieved, but pottery and glass fragments from the stone spread ranged in date from the 16th or 17th century to the 19th or 20th, while the putative made ground deposit produced a single 19th century glass vessel. The most plausible interpretation of the stratigraphic sequence is that the site was cleared in the late 19th century, demolishing a late medieval or post-medieval stone building, and that material was then imported to raise and level the site for the construction of the inn, covering the previous hard-standing and the demolished remnants of the building. The construction date of the inn is not known, but it appears on Ordnance Survey mapping from 1887. |
