Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken during installation of a fibre optic cable on land at Woolsthorpe Manor, Water Lane, Woolsthorpe by Colsterworth, Lincolnshire. The project was commissioned by the National Trust, owners of the site. The site lies immediately adjacent to Woolsthorpe Manor, an early 17th to early 18th century Grade I Listed Building and birthplace of Sir Isaac Newton. Various 17th to 19th century Grade II Listed Buildings directly associated with the house are also located on the site. Groundworks associated with the installation of a new fibre cable were subject to archaeological monitoring. A plan of the site dating to 1797 depicts a kitchen garden in the area of the site crossed by the cable route. The groundworks revealed a 19th century layer possibly representing the demolition of the kitchen garden in the 19th century, sealed by a metalled surface possibly also laid down at this time. |
