Abstract: |
A topographic earthworks survey was carried out in advance of proposed development on land south of 'The Meadows' housing estate off Warth Lane in Skegness in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire. The survey recorded two distinct areas of medieval ridge and furrow earthworks and a further area of indistinct ridge and furrow, separated by boundary ditches and headlands. The ridge and furrow displayed the typical reverse 'S' curve in plan and had ridges spaced approximately 8m apart. The survey has demonstrated that the application area was formerly three distinct fields within a wider medieval agrarian landscape; it did not identify any evidence for domestic occupation such as closes or building platforms. |
