Full Description
SUPPOSED ROMAN SITE FOUND BY PHILLIPS IN 1929. 'COULD SEE LITTLE LUMPS'.{1}
REV MR DYER, RECTOR OF CONINGSBY DISCOVERED TWO SUMMER ENCAMPMENTS ON FLAT MOOR BORDERING FENS IN TATTERSHALL PARK. THE NORTH ONE GREATLY OVER RUN WITH HEATH, BANKS 7FT WIDE. INNER DITCHES 12-13 FT WIDE. OUTER DITCHES 14-15FT THE TRENCHES FOR SOUTHERN ONE 6FT BROAD AND 2.5FT DEEP.{2}{3}{4}
FIELDWALKING IN ADVANCE OF GRAVEL EXTRACTION IN THIS AREA FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF ROMAN OCCUPATION AT ALL. IT THEREFORE SEEMS LIKELY THAT THIS IS NOT A ROMAN SITE GIVEN THAT THERE IS A COMPLETE LACK OF ROMAN POTTERY. {5}{6}
A complete absence of Roman pottery or features was noted during a watching brief for Tattershall Thorpe quarry extension, despite observations made by C.W.Phillips. The 'lumps' Phillips refers to appear to be natural concretions of gravel, and were also note during the watching brief. {7}{8}
