Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeological Services Ltd (PCAS) was commissioned by CgMs to undertake a scheme of archaeological mitigation on land to the east of Grantham Road, in the village of Waddington in the North Kesteven district of Lincolnshire. This work was undertaken as a condition of planning granted for the construction of new dwellings with associated open space and landscaping and follows on from a geophysical survey and trial trench evaluation of the site carried out in 2015. The previous archaeological works indicated that significant archaeological remains were only expected within the proposed development site in the immediate vicinity of evaluation Trenches 1 and 2 in the north-west corner of the site where a ring ditch was identified. The excavations revealed the full extent of the ring ditch but did not retrieve any finds by which to date it. There was also no evidence of the entrance in the south-west section of the ring ditch recorded during the evaluation, or any internal or external features. The lack of other features suggests that the ring ditch represents the remains of a barrow, which on typological grounds is likely to date to the Bronze Age or Iron Age. A pit and a ditch on the western side of the ring ditch were also excavated but these did not produce any finds despite increased sampling to retrieve them. |
