Abstract: |
Trent and Peak Archaeology were commissioned by Anglian Water, in liaison with Historic England to carry out an archaeological watching brief during necessary repair works to a burst water main which runs along the western boundary of the site of Sawcliffe Deserted Medieval Village (SAM LEN: 1017554) in Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire (NGR: SE 91099 14442). A single stepped trench measuring c.5m x 4.9m was cut over the area of the leak in order to minimise the potential impact of work on the Scheduled Ancient Monument. No archaeological features were identified during the course of the watching brief, however a possible buried soil horizon (tentatively dated to the medieval period on the grounds of pottery retrieval) was identified in section at a depth of c.0.75m below ground level. The stratigraphic sequence observed within the box trench comprised natural substratum, buried topsoil, subsoil and modern topsoil. The results of the watching brief suggest that any below ground archaeological remains within the area of observation suggest are likely to be well preserved beneath the current subsoil layer. Monitoring of the water mains repair took place between 20th September 2018 and 9th October 2018. |
