Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken during residential development works at Spring Street, Spalding. The site is located in an archaeologically sensitive area, lying close to the medieval Spalding Priory complex, in an area of known Roman and medieval remains. A watching brief monitored all groundworks associated with the development. Marine silts were the earliest deposit encountered. These were identified as forming the natural horizon on site, although they may have been a post-Roman development. Saxon and Saxo-Norman pottery was recovered during the excavations. A medieval ditch, probably dating from between 1200 and 1400, was identified towards the east of the development area. This may have been further related to Spalding Priory. Post-Medieval activity was identified in the form of a ditch, a refuse pit and deposits. Modern topsoil sealed the area. |
