Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out on land adjacent to 33-34 George Street, Grantham, Lincolnshire, in advance of a proposed extension to form a workshop, garage and flat. The works were commissioned by Delwood Property UK Ltd and conducted in accordance with a specification prepared by Archaeological Project Services. The site lies in an area of archaeological potential; the development appears to lie at the edge of the Saxon town. Previous investigations to the south recovered medieval pottery and revealed a ditch or pit, though this was undated. During the course of this watching brief, which was targeted on the foundation trenches and other areas of ground disturbance, a number of levelling and dumped deposits were identified. These consisted of build up deposits containing industrial and building waste associated with the construction of terraced housing and out buildings during the Late Victorian / Early Edwardian period and subsequently demolished in the second half of the 20th century. These were overlain by a series of levelling deposits forming an area of hard standing associated with an adjacent workshop. |
