Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording took place during the excavation of foundation trenches for the construction of two houses on the east side of Francis Street in the city of Lincoln. Francis Street lies to the north of the footprint of the Roman walled city of Lindum Colonia, and close to the main Roman road northwards out of the city, in an area known to have been used as a cemetery during the Roman period: possible remains of a disturbed Roman grave were found during archaeological monitoring in an adjacent plot. During the Middle Ages, Newport was the location of a large market and suburb: the present Francis Street follows the line of the western edge of the market. The market dwindled during the late Middle Ages, and the land remained largely undeveloped until the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, when Lincoln's booming population led to residential development and the growth of cottage industries in the area. The immediate neighbourhood of the site was developed for housing in the mid-19th-century. Potential Roman activity on the site was represented by a single unstratified sherd of mid-Roman pottery. A mixture of medieval and post-medieval ceramic building material retrieved from a deposit near the base of the groundworks may suggest that the site was cleared prior to the 19th-century redevelopment, disturbing any earlier remains. |
