Abstract/Summary

Report on a programme of trial trenching undertaken prior to the construction of a new residential development on land north of Church Walk, Sibsey. Ten trenches were excavated and recorded. A series of intercutting Medieval features representing the remains of roadside settlement was encountered. Features including post holes, ditches, and a probable occupation layer were identified between the road and a north-northwest to south-southeast aligned boundary ditch likely demarcating the rear of the tofts. A significant quantity of Medieval pottery and animal bone typical of domestic waste was recovered from these features. Saxo-Norman pottery was also discovered within some features that also contained late medieval Toynton and Toynton Type II wares. This in the nearby presence of a settlement in the 9th-10th centuries, though no features on this site were positively dated as Saxo-Norman. Several post-Medieval features were also identified, including a small quarry or extraction pit and a large east-west aligned boundary ditch.
