Full Description
A trial trench evaluation in June 2009, at the former Railway Station in Holbeach, revealed a large ditch running parallel with Station Road on the north-eastern side of the site. Two sherds of early medieval pottery were recovered from fills contained in the feature. An undated ditch, running parallel and immediately to the southwest, displayed a similar profile and had similar fills, suggesting that it probably belonged to the same phase of activity. Medieval pottery was recovered from alluvial silts on the northern side of the site, and as unstratified from a trench on the eastern boundary. An undated pit-like feature was recorded in the trench containing the ditches mentioned above. {1}{2}
