Archive for nineteen trial trenches excavated to inform the proposed development of land at Pride Parkway, Sleaford. A field system of Late Iron Age to early Roman date was identified in the southwest corner of the site. Evidence of cereal processing and iron smithing of likely 2nd-3rd century AD date was recovered from environmental samples of these features. This included a large quantity of charred wheat, barley and oat found in context with fragments of limestone building stone, suggesting that corn-driers may have been in use nearby. Limestone walls and floors positively dated to the 3rd-4th century AD were also identified in the southwest corner of the site - nearby significant rubble deposits are likely associated with the demolition of these buildings. Box flue tiles with internal sooting provide evidence for a possible nearby hypocaust. Environmental sampling of nearby features recovered house mouse bones - these typically live within buildings alongside humans. The earliest features identified on the site were a ditch and small pit of Mid to Late Iron Age date, also within the southwest corner of the site. Extensive evidence of Medieval ridge and furrow was observed across the site. A moderate quantity of finds was recovered, including a 1st century Colchester type brooch recovered from a silt deposit adjacent to the Roman building remains, and part of a likely 12th-14th century barrel padlock recovered from the fill of a furrow.
