Abstract:		 Two test pits were manually excavated. The turf was removed by spade and left to one side for reinstatement. The test pits were then excavated by hand in shallow spits and measured 1m by 2m. Resistivity surveys were also undertaken in the surrounding formal gardens. Heritage Lincolnshire were invited to organise an archaeology day in the grounds of Heckington Manor, by the new owners of the property – Charles and Sally Pinchbeck. Prior to any works starting on the house, the local community were to be given a chance to help investigate the history, heritage, and archaeology of the grounds. Two test pits were excavated, from which several finds were revealed. Most of the finds comprised a mix of domestic sherds from the 17th-19th century, however other finds included a piece of Anglo-Saxon pottery and potential prehistoric flint hammerstone. The assemblage recovered supports the written record by evidencing settlement on this site for hundreds of years. The community were given the chance to excavate, complete geophysical surveys and register their interest in having any memories they had of the building being recorded. All the participants were observed to have a good time, with a great deal of interest in the future of the manor, indicating the event was a success.
