Full Description
The remains of a late medieval ditch was identified in this location in May 2018, during trial trenching on land off Seas End Road. The ditch was aligned on a north-west to south-east axis, running perpendicular to the nearby River Glen, and was thought to have possibly functioned as a former land boundary. A few sherds of 15th to 16th century Toynton Late Medieval ware and Bourne D-type ware pottery were recovered from the ditch's lower fill, along with a few fragments of animal bone. The animal bone assemblage comprised single fragments from horse, cattle and sheep/goat. Further sherds of Toynton Late Medieval ware pottery were recovered from the ditch's upper fill, along with a single sherd from a probable jar of South Lincolnshire Shell and Iron Ware fabric, dating from the 11th to 13th centuries. {1}{2}
