Description

An archaeological excavation was conducted on land at Church Hill, Washingborough, to preserve by record known archaeological features in advance of proposed residential development. Two undated, though possibly post-Medieval, lime kilns were revealed. The first was the 'keyhole'-shaped possible flare kiln identified during the prior programme of trial trenching (see ELI14721), while the second was a sub-rectangular kiln measuring 7.2m long, 2.55m wide and 0.98m deep. A clay pipe stem and a fragment of 19th-20th century tile were recovered from an upper fill of this feature. An unstratified iron dining fork with a bone handle of 15th-17th century date was also recovered. {1}{2}
