Full Description
CROPMARK ENCLOSURES AND PITS THAT HAVE BEEN INTERPRETED AS A VILLA. {1}{2}
REFERRED TO AS EARTHWORKS IN 1962. {4}
THIS FIELD WAS FIELDWALKED IN MAY 1993 AS PART OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL WORKS ALONG THE ROUTE OF THE WELTON TO LINCOLN TRUNK MAIN. A LATE SECOND TO THIRD CENTURY POTTERY SCATTER OF AROUND 50 SHERDS WAS RESTRICTED TO AN AREA OF DARKER SOIL NEAR THE CENTRE OF THE FIELD, BUT WITH LESSER CONCENTRATIONS ELSEWHERE. VIRTUALLY NO POTTERY WAS FOUND CLOSE TO THE EASEMENT CONFIRMING THAT THE PIPLEINE PASSED SOME DISTANCE FROM MAJOR FEATURES. {7}
A WATCHING BRIEF IDENTIFIED TWO CUT FEATURES WITH VERY STEEP SIDES, WHICH WERE INTERPRETED AS PITS CONTAINING ANIMAL BONE. THERE WAS ALSO RB POTTERY AND QUERN ON THE SITE. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN REPORTS OF BROOCHES, COINS AND OTHER METAL FINDS BY METAL DETECTORISTS. {9}, HTM 23.54M
