Abstract: |
A watching brief undertaken during groundworks associated with the construction of a semi-detached dwelling at 6a South End, Boston, Lincolnshire.The site lies in an archaeologically sensitive area immediately south of Boston Grammar School where Romano-British and Medieval remains have been identified, including 15 inhumation burials thought to be associated with a nearby Franciscan Friary. However, the investigation recorded no traces of the Franciscan Friary or any features of significant antiquity. The earliest deposit the watching brief revealed was a flood silt which cut by a number of recent features and overlain by a sequence of dumped deposits and made up ground. Overlying these deposits were the remains of a modern foundation wall sealed by a former tarmac surface and a sand and gravel path. |
