Abstract: |
Continuous archaeological monitoring, recording, mapping and excavation was carried out along the route of a 13km Anglian Water pipeline from Harrowby to Easton, Lincolnshire. The archaeological potential along the route of the pipeline was thought to be reasonably high, as the pipeline lies close to a number of previously identified sites of Bronze Age, Roman and medieval date. Much of the pipeline's route was adjacent to the A52 and B6403 - along the line of the Roman Road known as Ermine Street. A possible Roman roadside ditch perhaps associated with Ermine Street may have been exposed running adjacent to the A52. Due to its location there is a high likelihood that the ditch was Roman in origin although no finds of Roman date were recovered from the fills. However post-medieval pottery and a 16th-century coin were recovered from its fills. Unstratified 4th-century AD coins and 12th-century date were collected from subsoil close to the ditch. |
