Abstract:		 Outline planning permission was granted by North Kesteven District Council for a residential development to the south of the A17 at Holdingham Farms, Holdingham, Lincolnshire. An archaeological evaluation of the site in 2012 revealed two areas of activity; at the north-western corner, and within the south-eastern quadrant, where evidence of burnt agricultural features and timber structures featured in the latter. The results suggested that the site lay within Holdingham's hinterland and, prior to the medieval period, focused on subsistence farming. Subsequent to evaluation, PCAS Ltd. was commissioned to undertake a scheme of archaeological mitigation works on the proposed development site to ensure the effective preservation by record of the site's archaeological resource. Excavation exposed a limited number of archaeological features, the majority of which were of likely agricultural origin, dating from the medieval and post-medieval periods. Also exposed was a relatively large penannular ditch, probably a roundhouse, dated to within the middle to late Iron Age. This roundhouse appears to have been relatively isolated in the landscape, perhaps reflecting the importance of its former occupants. A small hearth, tentatively dated to the Mesolithic period was also identified.
