Abstract: |
Trent and Peak Archaeology were commissioned by Lincolnshire County Council and Anglian Water to carry out an archaeological monitoring and recording scheme on an open-cut trench for a water mains replacement scheme along Sleaford Road in Tattershall, in Lincolnshire. The water main runs through the Tattershall conservation area, situated on an adjacent road to Tattershall castle, a Grade I listed building constructed in the 13th century, reconstructed in the 15th century, which represents a rare example of a fortified medieval manor. The groundworks sought over 644m of new water mains being laid out along Sleaford road at depth of 1.1m, with only 322m worth passing through the conservation area, which will connect pre-existing valves located at TF 20685 57298 and TF 21167 57663. Three trenches were opened along a 322m stretch of Sleaford Road. No archaeological finds or features were recovered during this phase of works. Two dressed sandstone blocks present within a backfill deposit may represent local demolition material, though this remains unconfirmed. As geological substratum was not reached during this phase of works, it is possible that in-situ archaeological deposits may remain preserved beneath the 1.1m limit of excavation. Monitoring of the water mains replacement took place between 29th January 2018 and 1st February 2018. |
