Abstract:		 A planning application for the construction of two new extensions to the existing dwelling at 25s Drury Lane has been conditionally approved by the City of Lincoln Council. The site lies on the south side of Drury Lane on the corner with Gibraltar Hill almost directly adjacent to Lincoln Castle. The site lies in the heart of the historic core of the Roman city, directly adjacent to the 1st century Roman fort and within the area of the Scheduled Monument of the Roman colonia which developed around the fort in the following centuries, therefore there is high potential for archaeological remains to be encountered in the new footing trenches. During the Saxon period Lincoln experienced a decline, with activity and occupation retreating within the walls of the Roman city. Few Saxon artefacts or features have been found in this vicinity, but as the site lies within the walled Roman colonia it is possible evidence of activity in this period may be encountered. Due to the somewhat precarious location of the site on the edge of the downward slope of the Lincoln Escarpment, it is likely the site remained undeveloped throughout the medieval and post-medieval period. Early OS mapping indicates the site was part of the Bishops Hostel in the late 19th century, surrounded by housing of the same period. The semi-detached properties of 25 and 25a Drury Lane are among the more recent properties in this area, built in 1934 for a private developer. No archaeological features were observed during the course of the watching brief. Excavations revealed only topsoil, with subsoils at the base of the footings. The depth of the topsoil is unusual and may indicate this material was transported to the site for landscaping. Undisturbed layers plausibly remain beneath the new development.
