Abstract: |
Allen Archaeology Ltd was commissioned by For-Ward Planning Consultancy Limited to undertake an archaeological evaluation by trial trenching on land off the A158, Baumber, Lincolnshire, following a request by the Historic Environment Officer at Lincolnshire County Council prior to the submission of an outline planning application for a new residential development. The site is located on the south side of the A158, within the village of Baumber and 50m southeast of the Old Red Lion Public House, and comprised residential dwellings, off-road parking areas and overgrown garden plots. The archaeological evaluation consisted of three evaluation trenches, 10m long and 1.8m wide, strategically placed within the accessible area to collect as much information as possible. The archaeological evaluation consisted of three evaluation trenches, 10m long and 1.8m wide. At the northeast end of Trench 1 a ditch, gully and two intercutting pits were revealed. One of the pits contained two fragments of late 9th century pottery. At the west end of the trench were a further gully and a steep-sided pit that contained one sherd each of late 9th and 12th century pottery. Environmental samples from features in Trench 1 revealed evidence of possible smithing and crop processing having occurred in the vicinity. Trench 2 was located in the centre of the site and revealed a pit containing post-medieval pottery and the terminal of a ditch. The ditch had been recut and contained small quantities of 15th century pottery, medieval roof tile and animal bone. Trench 3 revealed five undated ditches and a post-medieval pit. The results indicate that there is a high archaeological potential for encountering further Saxon, medieval and post-medieval remains within the proposed development area. |
