Abstract: |
To fulfil a condition attached to a planning permission, PCAS Archaeology carried out a scheme of archaeological monitoring and recording during the construction of an extension to the Agrimin Ltd. factory on the Humberside Airport Business Estate, Kirmington, North Lincolnshire. There is evidence for settled occupation in the vicinity of Kirmington from the late Iron Age onwards. The Iron Age and Romano-British settlement lay directly to the north of Kirmington Airport, and occupation has progressed eastwards throughout history, with a Dark Age settlement lying between the focus of Roman occupation and the present village, which emerged during the medieval period. The archaeological programme involved monitoring excavations up to 0.6m below original ground level within the footprint of the warehouse extension; revealing a natural chalk substrate, three deposits and 33 possible cut features.Only three of these were of convincing archaeological origin, and only one, a pit of probable Neolithic date, could be reliably dated. One of two features interpreted as quarry-pits produced no dating evidence, while the other contained such a wide range as to suggest that it had been back-filled with imported material.. |
