Full Description
PRN 55249
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on land adjacent to the Fossdyke Canal, Torksey. The watching brief identified two undated linears in the eastern of the two fields. Both contained artefacts, however, neither could be dated with any degree of certainty. The orientations and nature of the fills however show that they may well be associated, possibly representing elements of a former field system of either late Roman or post-Roman date, the latter assumption being based on the low density of cultural material. The shallowness of the linears indicates that modern ploughing has probably caused substantial truncation of the features.{1}{2}
