Full Description
Two Saxon coins, five pins, a strap end and a sherd of possibly Saxon pottery were found south of the railway line in Canwick by the Washingborough Archaeology Group whilst fieldwalking on 24th October 1993. {1}{2}
Saxon sherds and lava querns attributed to the Saxon period were recovered in this location during trial trenching along the proposed route of the Lincoln Eastern Bypass. It is thought that there was a possible occupation of the decaying Roman farmstead in the Saxon period, but later medieval disturbance has obscured the evidence. {3}{4}
