Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeological Services Ltd carried out an archaeological evaluation on land to the east of Church Lane, Ulceby, in North Lincolnshire. A low density of Roman occupation is known from the surrounding area, probably peripheral to the Iron Age hill fort and later Roman settlement on Yarborough Hill. The origins of the present settlement of Ulceby are believed to be late Saxon, but prior to this evaluation, there was little evidence for the pre-Domesday settlement. Later medieval Ulceby, a large agricultural village, is evinced by the earthworks of tofts and crofts around the modern village, and ridge-and-furrow further out. The evaluation encountered portions of a complex of ditches, probably representing enclosures, dating from the 10th to the mid-11th centuries, with a small amount of dating evidence potentially as early as the mid-9th century; the ceramic assemblage included three previously unrecorded fabric types. A few small features of stratigraphically earlier date, and a small amount of redeposited Romano-British pottery, may indicate that the site was also occupied in the Roman period. |
