Description

Six trial trenches were excavated to inform proposed development on land to the east of Grantham Road, Waddington. The trenches were targeted to investigate a number of anomalies recorded by a prior magnetometry survey (see ELI13130). A ring ditch, likely dating to the prehistoric period, and two ditches likely related to modern agricultural activity were uncovered. One piece of worked flint was recovered from the topsoil, but no other artefacts or ecofacts were found. {1}{2}
