Abstract: |
Trent and Peak Archaeology (TPA) were commissioned by Anglian Water to undertake an archaeological watching brief during groundworks for the insertion of a new water main at Poplar Farm, Grantham, Lincolnshire. The work was undertaken during July 2016. The trench for the water main was 315m in length and 2m wide and was excavated to between 0.7 and 1.5m deep depending on the site topography. No features or deposits of any archaeological interest were revealed during the excavations. The existing water main was found and removed, and was discovered to have disturbed the natural substratum in this area. No evidence relating to the possible prehistoric cropmark enclosures further to the south were identified, indicating that the settlement/agricultural activity did not extend this far to the north. |
