Protected Status/Designation
- None recorded
Full Description
During a programme of archaeological monitoring and recording conducted on the groundworks for a new doctor's surgery on land adjacent to 5 Paddock Close, Ancaster, an east-west aligned wall was encountered. The wall was constructed of crudely dressed blocks of limestone bonded with a loose yellow-brown sandy mortar. A 2m gap between the two sections of wall may represent a former doorway or opening. The dating of the wall is uncertain, but due to the relatively high level of the footing and type of mortar used it is thought to be post-Roman. {1}{2}
