Full Description
Probable late medieval and post-medieval earthwork ridge and furrow, Lincoln, identified by the NMP. {1}{2}
Medieval ridge and furrow was revealed during trial trenching in October 2007, on a site for a new proposed cemetery at Lower Long Leys Road, Lincoln. {3}{4}
The ridge and furrow was recorded during an excavation in 2010, conducted in advance of the creation of a new cemetery, on land off Long Leys Road, Lincoln. This activity is thought to date to sometime in the 13th to 15th centuries, when the probable tree coverage of the site was cleared and the land cultivated in a series of strips running down the slope. The activity was thought to be short-lived however, with only a small assemblage of pottery being recovered, most likely deposited through manuring of the fields. {5}{6}
