Protected Status/Designation
- None recorded
Full Description
PRN 45509
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during the groundworks for a classroom block at Scamblesby Primary School, Scamblesby. A single undated pit was recorded. It appeared to have been subject to in situ burning, which scorched the edges of the feature and formed a charcoal rich deposit. This was sealed by a dump of limestone. It is possible that this represents the disposal of a diseased animal, which was burnt in the pit and sealed with lime (although no burnt bone was recorded). {1} {2}
