Archive for the earthwork survey, undertaken prior to proposed development on land to the rear of Cairns House, Hall Lane, Burgh le Marsh. The majority of the recorded earthworks clearly related to an episode of dumping, said to have taken place in the 1980s, which had buried or damaged much of the earlier earthwork evidence here. The survey did identify an L-shaped ridge to the north of the site, however, which was thought to represent former terracing associated with the medieval agricultural activity in this area.
