Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out during the excavation of foundation trenches for the construction of a 3 storey extension to the existing rear elevation of St. Nicholas House, 70 Newport, Lincoln. St. Nicholas House is located on the east side of Newport, at the junction of St. Johns Road. The site lies within the northern perimeters of Lincoln Conservation Area 9 (Newport and Nettleham Road). This Grade II Listed property is a former vicarage, built 1879 by William Watkins of Lincoln for the Rev. F W Blenkin and were converted to offices in the 20th century The site lies immediately adjacent to the former Roman road of Ermine Street. Much of the land around Newport formed part of the Roman territorium but has also been shown to contain Roman cremation- and inhumation cemeteries. Archaeological monitoring carried out on the site in 2002 found evidence for a deep, infilled Roman quarry pit. Few features other than a modern brickwork drain and a pit containing modern debris were seen during the construction groundworks. |
