Abstract/Summary
Archive for a programme of archaeological excavation and monitoring and recording during the groundworks for a residential development on land to the south of Witham Road, Woodhall Spa. Modern land drains and plough scarring were noted across the site of the open excavation, which trunctated a number of archaeological features. A group of pits or postholes forming a possible structure and the remains of a round house with an irregular penanular drip gully and two inner postholes were encountered. A single sherd of 12th-13th century pottery was recovered from the terminus of the drip gully, though given the level of modern truncation this is likely intrusive. An enclosure ditch running north to south, turning west at its northern end, was also encountered to the north of these features. Prior trial trenching (see ELI14129) recovered Late Iron Age pottery from both the enclosure ditch and the drip gully of the round house. During the archaeological monitoring and recording, four undated features were encountered: two pits, a gully, and a ditch.
