Full Description
PRN 36486
Archaeological evaluation (trial trenching) was undertaken on land at Star Lane, Stamford, in order to assess the likely impact of a proposed residential development on any buried remains. Two interconnected 3m by 1.6m evaluation trenches arranged in a T-shape were excavated within a courtyard located 32m to the west of Star Lane. The evaluation identified a number of features indicating medieval activity on or near the site, including; a number of dump deposits, a large rubbish pit, a post hole and possible yard surface containing pottery dating to the 12th century. These features were, in turn, sealed by make-up and levelling deposits containing pottery dating to the late 12th to early/mid 13th century {1} {2}
