Protected Status/Designation
Full Description
70321
The pottery assemblage from the excavations at The Park in 1970-72 shows that there was intermittent activity on the site between the eleventh and eighteenth century. The road appears to have fallen out of use by the thirteenth century. A building was identified which had been built on the rampart which dates from no earlier than the late fifteenth century, and no later than the seventeenth century. In addition to these remains were a hearth and pits of medieval date. There was major robbing of the Roman defences in the post medieval period and final levelling occurred in the eighteenth century. The area subsequently became gardens, with a fashionable walkway overlooking them. {1}
Trial trenching was undertaken at William Wrights Premises, Park Street, Lincoln prior to development. The foundations for a 13th century stone building were uncovered. Also there was at 14th-16th century rubbish pit containing pottery sherds and fire and food debris. There was also a 12th century pit and a 12th century layer. Brick foundations of a post medieval terraced house were uncovered. There was also a stoine wall with a brick extension dated to the post medieval time. Environmental samples were taken. {2} {3}
A watching brief was undertaken at the former Wrights' building yard, 48-50 Park Street, Lincoln during groundworks. Due to the nature of the piling undertaken, only assorted pottery was recovered. {4} {5}
