Abstract:		 In September 2013 Archaeological Research Services Ltd was commissioned by Gladman Developments Ltd to undertake an archaeological evaluation on a plot of land proposed for the construction of a new housing development at Langton Hill, Horncastle, Lincolnshire. The evaluation was carried out prior to the submission of the planning application for the development and followed a programme of geophysical survey which identified several probable field boundaries and a number of discrete features. The evaluation consisted of a total of ten trenches, eight measuring 50m by 1.5m and two measuring 25m by 1.5m. The results of the evaluation broadly concurred with the geophysical interpretation of the site, with the bulk of the features that were revealed consisting of field boundaries and drainage ditches. The discrete features are thought to be the remains of backfilled waterholes dating to the post-medieval period. A range of ceramic artefacts were found within features across the site, some from as early as the 13th century. Where these early finds were present however, they were always within a context that also contained 18th or 19th century material, indicating that their presence was from secondary deposition. The presence of medieval ceramics indicates that settlement activity was occurring on or in the vicinity of the site during the medieval period; however none of the features can be dated due to the residual nature of the finds. No finds, features or buried land surfaces dating from earlier than the 13th century were found on the site.
