An archaeological evaluation (trial trenching) was undertaken on land at the former Eastgate Motors car park, Wragby Road, Lincoln in advance of residential development. The works were required due to the location of the site within a designated conservation area (Conservation Area No.3) to assess the archaeological potential of the site, to establish the effects on archaeological resources of developing the area and, if necessary, to advise a mitigation strategy that would seek to safeguard the interests of buried any archaeological remains. A single 15m by 1.6m trench was excavated, postioned towards the south of the development area {1} {2}
