Full Description

Prn 23650 Material dating from 900-1900 approximately was found during fieldwalking on the site of a proposed development at the junction of Holbeach Road and Ashtree Lane. The late Saxon pottery comprised 12 sherds dating to tenth to twelfth century, produced in the South Lincolnshire region, including Stamford. There was also thirteenth to fifteenth century pottery in the scatter, the quantity of which suggested that there may have been settlement nearby. Post medieval finds were fewer, and probably represented a manuring scatter. Sixteenth to seventeenth century Bourne ware was recovered. Pottery dating from the seventeenth to the ninteenth century was probably from Staffordshire. {1} During the final phase of evaluation and watching brief a few fragments of post medieval pottery and brick were retrieved from the topsoil. {2}{3}
