Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken during construction of a dwelling on land at Morningside Nurseries, Dog Drove North, Holbeach Drove, Holbeach, South Holland, Lincolnshire. The project was commissioned by Mr and Mrs Holmes to fulfil a condition of planning permission granted by South Holland District Council for the construction of a new dwelling. The site lies in an archaeologically sensitive area, in close proximity to cropmarks of probable Iron Age and Romano-British date. Artefactual evidence indicated that the area was heavily utilised for salt production, probably during the early Roman period. The excavation of the footings of the new dwelling was subject to archaeologically monitoring. A probable ditch of Roman date was identified along with an undated possible channel, which could be contemporary with the ditch. One or both of these features may be associated with known Roman salt production in the vicinity. A boundary ditch was identified which was infilled no earlier than the late 18th Century, and possibly as late as the late 20th Century. |
