Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken prior to the development of a new Music School and Sports Hall on land at Lincoln Minster School, Upper Lindum Street, Lincoln. This was in order to determine the archaeological implications of the proposed development at the site. The site lies in the vicinity of archaeological remains dating from the Romano-British period to the present day. Documentary sources indicate that the site was in use as a medieval quarry until c. 1270. Previous investigations to the south and west of the site have revealed evidence of limestone quarrying. The evaluation identified a sequence of backfilled deposits within a medieval quarry pit, followed by undated levelling deposits of made-ground and an undated ditch. Although the edge of the quarry itself was not revealed the investigation was able to determine the depth of the archaeological horizon associated with the medieval quarrying. The largest category of finds retrieved from the evaluation comprise roofing tile of the medieval and roman period. The fresh condition of the tile raises the possibility that roman and medieval structures may have existed on or near the site and that features from these periods may survive in the vicinity beyond the quarrying area. |
