Full Description
An area of cropmark linear boundaries and at least one enclosure located at Station Farm, Sleaford Road, Tattershall, which may be related to other nearby areas of cropmark to the immediate west (MLI40445) and north (MLI40443).
Aerial photography from Google Earth taken in 2009 shows the site as being occupied by a series or irregular linear features and at least one enclosure, seemingly not all on the same alignment. {1}
While a geophysical survey was undertaken (ELI13601) the presence of agricultural manuring on the site was considered likely to mask archaeological features, with the survey appearing largely blank. {2}
Follow up excavations did record a number of linear features interpreted as possible land boundaries, one of which correlates to known field boundaries on historic mapping, however no dating evidence was returned. A single brick of possible Tudor origin was recovered. {3}{4}
