Evaluation at Main Street, Glentham, Lincolnshire

The evaluation involved the investigation of five trenches, three measuring 20m x 1.5m, and two 10m x 1.5m. The trenches were positioned to give the widest possible spread of sampling across the areas expected to be most affected by the proposed development, while avoiding obstructions and allowing sufficient space for a mechanical excavator to manoeuvre. All investigatory works were undertaken in accordance with an approved WSI (Savage, 2024). Despite the high potential of the area, the evaluation exposed limited archaeological remains. Of five trenches excavated, two contained features, with a total of three features being recorded. None of these features could be dated. Trench 1 exposed a single pit of uncertain function, whilst two intercutting ditches were observed extending through the centre of Trench 5. The orientation of these features suggests that they pre-date current boundaries.
