Undated quarry, former Eastgate Motors car park, Wragby Road, Lincoln
Type and Period (1)
- QUARRY (Unknown date)
Protected Status/Designation
Full Description
PRN 70343
Archaeological evaluation (trial trenching) on land at the former Eastgate Motors car park, Wragby Road, Lincoln identified a large limestone quarry (present to the east and north of the development area). The quarry appears to respect the line of Wragby Road, suggesting that the road was well established before the quarrying activity took place. Despite meticulous excavation, no datable finds were recovered, so it was not possible to determine the date of the quarry, nor to establish what may have been present in the area prior to its emergence. {1}{2}
