Full Description

A large ditch was recorded in this area in June 2012, during archaeological monitoring of new development on land at Camel Gate / Marsh Road, Spalding. The ditch was aligned on a roughly east to west axis, and was cut into extensive alluvial deposits. Two fragments of fired clay were found in one of its fill deposits, along with two sherds of Stamford ware pottery, dating the feature to the 11th or 12th century. A further sherd of slightly later medieval pottery was found nearby, in an overlying layer of alluvium. {1}{2}
