Abstract: |
Evaluation undertaken on land off Grantham Road as the area is archaeologically sensitive with prehistoric artefacts and Saxon remains known in the vicinity. Previous geophysical survey of the site was compromised by magnetic disturbance. The evaluation revealed three undated features. A discrete post hole, a shallow linear ditch cut and a substantial pit containing evidence for a structure in the form of a rough stone with mortar adhered to one side. A single recent pit was also identified. The cause of the magnetic disturbance was unclear but probably associated with dumping of deposits containing large amounts of gypsum in the field as soil conditioner. Natural clays were overlain directly by topsoil throughout the site. |
