Abstract: |
Archaeological excavations were required in advance of development at Lincoln Road, Sleaford, as the site lay in an archaeologically sensitive area. Saxon settlement sites had been previously excavated immediately to both the west and east, and it was thought likely that similar remains would extend across the development site itself. The investigations recorded a cluster of post holes which provide evidence for at least one building of early to middle Saxon date which appeared to be aligned onto a nearby boundary ditch. These remains appear to integrate with evidence for a regularised system of land division recorded during adjacent excavations. Environmental and artefactual evidence from the various pits, post holes and the boundary ditch include house mouse bones, pottery, loomweight fragments and larger pieces of animal bone, suggesting occupation at the site was domestic in nature. |
