Full Description
PRN 23837
Archaeological evaluation (trial trenching) on land at Woolram Wygate, Spalding identified an east to west aligned medieval boundary ditch. It would appear that the ditch was initially cut during the 13th century and may form part of a system of strip fields, known as dylings, in association with other ditches in the area (PRN 23836). {1} {2}
A Fluxgate Gradiometer (Magnetometry) Survey was undertaken on land at Wygate Park, Spalding as part of a larger archaeological investigation of the proposed development site, in order to place the findings from earlier trial trenches into a wider context. The survey clarified the extent and orientation of the possible medieval ditch system {3}
