Abstract: |
For trial trenches were excavated on the site of the proposed public sector hub at the former Horncastle Residential College. The site is located at the periphery of Roman and Iron settlement at Horncastle and close to a Roman cremation cemetery. Evidence of Roman settlement was identified at the southern edge of the site during an evaluation in 1994 and cremations were found immediately north of the site during building works for the Union workhouse in the mid 19th century. Three of the trenches excavated in the northern part of the site of the new hub produced no evidence of significant archaeological deposits. However, the fourth trench near the southern edge of the site confirmed the presence of Roman activity in the form of ditches and pits. A small quantity of Roman pot was recovered together with residual late Neolithic/early Bronze worked flint. |
