Type and Period (1)

Protected Status/Designation
Full Description
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on land at Star Lane, Stamford, in order to assess the likely impact of a proposed residential development on any buried archaeological remains. The evaluation identified the remains of a possible Medieval to post-Medieval building, in the form of collapsed roofing material, recorded in the eastern portion of the trench and evidently extending beyond it. The remains comprised fragments of Collyweston slate and glazed ceramic roof tiles. The ceramic tiles were produced in South Lincolnshire (Bourne) and Northamptonshire (Stanion-Lyveden) and date from the 12th to 14th century, although pottery recovered from the same deposit as the tile was mostly of 15th to 16th century date. Although no evidence of structures were identified within the limited area of the evaluation trench, it is unlikely that the roofing material was spread too far from its source. It is therefore likely that a medieval stone roofed structure stood within the immediate vicinity of the site; the presence of glazed ridge tiles indicates that it had relatively high status. The pottery evidence suggests that the building was demolished during the 15th or 16th centuries. {1}{2}
