Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological evaluation trenching took take place to inform a proposed development on land to the north of Tothby Lane in Alford, in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire. The site lies between the historic core of Alford town and the deserted medieval village of Tothby, now represented only by Tothby Manor to the north of the site. A preceding geophysical survey recorded a dense array of rectilinear enclosures (some with possible internal boundaries and containing pits) across the western and south-eastern parts of the site, with a group of anomalies also recorded in the north-eastern part. This document describes the results of a three trench evaluation. Each of the investigated trenches contained archaeological features, with Trenches 1 and 2 corroborating the results of the geophysical survey, suggesting the presence of enclosures, which have been dated to the Roman period. |
