During a watching brief undertaken in Area A at Rectory Farm, West Deeping in 2005, Pre-Construct Archaeology revealed two curvilinear ditches, two gullies, which may be Roman in date, and five pits. The watching brief in Area B, to the south east of Area A revealed two gullies and several pits. Area C revealed waterholes (pits over two metres in diameter), pits and postholes containing animal remains. The postholes appeared to indicate a sub rectangular structure and within one of the waterholes fragments of human bone were found. The watching brief was continued in Area 4B in 2007 and many waterholes, ditches, pits and post holes were recorded. No datable finds were retrieved. {1}{2}
