Description

Two trial trenches were excavated to inform proposed residential development on land north-west of Wellington Way, Market Deeping. Remains of what was thought to be the eastern bank of the Car Dyke were revealed in both trenches, although no dating material was recovered from the primary deposits of this feature. Layers of mid 20th century debris and burnt material were also recorded across the site. These later deposits were thought to be associated with the presence of a military housing development that had previously occupied the site, and had provided housing for personnel assigned to the nearby RAF Langtoft. {1}{2}
