An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on land at Star Lane, Stamford, in order to assess the likely impact of a proposed residential development on any buried archaeological remains. The development area is archaeologically sensitive as it is located in the core of the historic town of Stamford, within the area of the Danish burh and close to the presumed site of the medieval church of St. Andrew. A single evaluation trench, aligned northwest to southeast and measuring 3m by 1.25m was excavated within a small yard that lies immediately east of three standing buildings, adjacent to the site's frontage with Star Lane. Remains of Medieval smelting activity and a possible Medieval or post-Medieval building were uncovered. {1}{2}
