Summary

IRON AGE POTTERY FOUND ON MEDIEVAL SITE

Type and Period (1)

Protected Status/Designation

  • None recorded

Full Description

Site excavated 1913 but no report made. Pottery in the museum of the Spalding Gentlemen's Society, from this excavation, included two sherds classified by Hawks as Iron Age 'A'. These probably came from the old land surface. The rest of the pottery examined by G C Dunning was dated from 11th or 12th century to 18th century. The evidence of the pottery and former existence of a mound is suggestive of a motte or castle mound. (See 25 inch 1931 for survey of the site before destruction). The mound and a possible outer ditch show as soil marks on APs.{1}{2}{3} Area under crop. City and County Museum, Lincoln and Spalding museums have no record of material from this site.{1} Sherds of pottery from the site in Spalding Gentleman's Society noted by S J Hallam. These notes as possible Iron Age, Saxo-Norman and as late as 15th century. {6}
