Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation consisting of four 20m x 2m trenches was undertaken on land to the south of Heath Road, on the western edge of the village of Scothern in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, in order to inform a forthcoming planning application for a residential development. Although there is little evidence for activity in any period prior to the Norman Conquest, medieval Scothern was a substantial settlement divided among several landowners. Archaeological recording around Scothern has identified undated surfaces and features thought to relate to the medieval occupation of the village, while ridge-and-furrow earthworks have been identified to the north and south of the village, including less than 300m to the north-east of the proposed development site, and other earthworks possibly deriving from medieval settlement have been identified around the periphery of the village. Two possible linear features were encountered in one of the trenches, but seemed most likely to be natural gullies caused by weathering of the limestone brash geology. No features were identified in any of the other three trenches, and the archaeological potential of the site is assessed as being low.
