Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out durig the excavation of a cable trench along the southern boundary of a churchyard at the former site of an abbey. Evidence suggested that Bourne had been a small town built along a road during the Romano-British period; Roman artefacts had been found at several locations in the vicinity of the site. The town had grown into a substantial settlement with a castle in the medieval period. With the exception of the church, the buildings of the abbey had been dismantled following its dissolution in 1535. Remains of these buildings and evidence of Romano-British settlement had been excavated to the north of the present church. During the watching brief, only modern service trenches, pottery and plastic waste were encountered. [AIP] |
