Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeological Services Ltd (PCAS) was commissioned by J. H. Walter, to undertake a scheme of archaeological monitoring and recording on land to the east of the A 1133, Newton on Trent, in the West Lindsey District of Lincolnshire (NGR: SK 8390 7475). This work was undertaken to fulfil a condition attached to a planning application, approved by West Lindsey District Council, for the construction of a single wind turbine (Planning Application No. 131289). Archaeological interest in this site arises from the identification, by aerial photography, of crop marks to the east of the village which may indicate enclosures and field systems of the late prehistoric/Romano-British period, as well as a possible prehistoric barrow. Further evidence of past human activity in the area has also been indicated by a large number of early prehistoric worked flint found during the construction of the current course of the A 1133. The remains of two pottery kilns dated to the mid Romano-British period have also been identified in this area. During the monitoring works, no deposits or features of archaeological significance were observed and no artefacts were recovered. Only a shallow heavily re-worked modern plough soil was observed, directly overlying natural sand. |
