Abstract:		 Evaluation: The fieldwork comprised the excavation of 18 trenches, each measuring 50m in length and 1.8m in width Excavation: An area measuring 75m by 75m, targeting features identified in evaluation Trench 16 was excavated. Evaluation: An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in October 2017 on land at Manor Farm, Wainfleet Road, Irby in the Marsh, Lincolnshire. Eighteen trenches were excavated. A ditch and pit/ditch terminus, both of Iron Age date, were identified. Two undated ditches were also recorded in the same trench and are interpreted as contemporary through association. Post-medieval field boundaries, the majority of which are depicted on cartographic sources from the 19th century onwards, were also recorded. Excavation: An archaeological strip, map and sample (SMS) exercise was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in October 2018 on land at Manor Farm, Wainfleet Road, Irby in the Marsh, Lincolnshire. The SMS area targeted features identified during a previous evaluation of the site. The SMS identified a number of archaeological features associated with settlement within the immediate vicinity in the period between the late 9th and 11th centuries AD. The archaeological features comprised the ditches associated with small paddocks or stock pens and with larger fields which superseded them, as well as a number of pits. Finds from the Late Saxon/Saxo-Norman features included pottery, animal bone, ceramic building material, fired clay and a fragment of an iron knife or shears blade, as well as a small amount of flint, including residual pieces comprising a scraper and a flake. Of particular interest was the identification of a previously unrecognised fabric type within the ceramic assemblage. The fieldwork also identified a number of later features representing boundaries first depicted on the local tithe map dated to 1840.
