Abstract: |
A scheme of archaeological monitoring and recording took place during the construction of a new house on land adjacent to no. 1, Knight Terrace in the Wigford area of the city of Lincoln. Knight Terrace falls within the Wigford suburb of Lincoln city, on the south side of the River Witham, and is close to the west bank of the Sincil Drain, which formed the boundary of medieval Wigford. The line of the present Sincil Dyke from the outfall of Great Gowt south and west to the point where it rejoins the Witham is currently believed to date from the 11th century. Documentary and topographical sources indicate that there was a wall, and perhaps a rampart as well, inside the Sincil Dyke, although excavations at Knight Place in 1992 encountered only a large ditch or drain. Monitoring proved for the most part negative, the only structural finds and features relate to early modern activity in the form of a brick wall and small pit, probably associated with the former dwelling on this plot. |
