Title Archaeological Evaluation of the Grantham Southern Quadrant
Author/Originator
Date/Year 2013

Abstract/Summary

Archive for a programme of archaeological evaluation comprising four trial trenches excavated to inform the proposed construction of a large new residential development on land to the south of Grantham. A series of Roman features was encountered, including ditches, pits and a probable demolition spread of limestone rubble. An undated, but probably also Roman, inhumation burial was encountered but left in situ. Finds recovered included Roman pottery, mostly dating to the 2nd century AD, a 1st-2nd century AD bone pin, and an iron 'timber dog' of probable Roman date.
