Full Description
Two redeposited sherds of medieval pottery were recovered in 1991, during trial trenching conducted to inform the proposed widening of the A46 road between Lincoln and Newark. The sherds were found within a ditch that ran to the south-east and along the same alignment as an earthwork bank, which marked the Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire county boundary in this area. It was suggested that the possible bank and ditch system perhaps represents a sequence of construction of territorial boundaries dating from the Iron Age to the Anglo-Saxon or medieval period, although this interpretation remains tentative. {1}
