Archaeological evaluation revealed the remains of a stone wall, a large ditch and remains of a metalled surface. The ditch contained early-mid 13th century pottery in its fill and the demolition layer from the wall sealed this layer but could not be more closely dated. The western edge of the ditch lay beyond the limit of the trench but must have been within 2m of the present alignment of Green Lane and may be an important boundary.

Fieldwalking within the area of Alborough Flats recovered 120 finds. All of these finds were post- medieval or later in date. 30 boreholes were excavated. The sequences identified represent a combination of inorganic alluvial deposits associated with the channel migration in the floodplain and channel aggradations with radiocarbon dates ranging from the Late Mesolithic to the Bronze Age.

The site contained little of archaeological significance, but suggests that future monitoring and a sampling programme would assist in determining further details regarding past environments. [Au(abr)] SMR primary record number:LS 2564 Archaeological Investigations Project 2003 Field Evaluations

A total of six trenches were excavated at the site. No evidence of the buried land surfaces were identified. Further deep excavation was unlikely to be productive until drainage works were to be carried out prior to mineral extraction. [Au(abr)] SMR primary record number:LS 2663

Monitoring of the site strip revealed a number of archaeological features, which were dominated by two parallel linear ditches, probably representing a ditched trackway. There seems little doubt that the trackway and associated enclosures were a south-western continuation of a Romano-British civil settlement that developed around a late 1st century AD military fort. The pottery recovered from the site had close parallels with a number of 2nd century AD Romano-British rural settlements in North Lincolnshire. [Au(abr)] SMR primary record number:LS 2427

The fieldwalking found a single sherd of medieval pottery. Across the field was a scatter of modern debris, with a large pile of building rubble situated on the edge of the field. The fieldwalking did not indicate the presence of any buried archaeology features. [Au(abr)] SMR primary record number:2420

Archaeological evaluation of a proposed development on the south-western fringe of the village has identified some limited evidence for ditched field boundaries dating to the late Iron Age/Romano- British period. A small assemblage of artefacts, including pottery, animal bone and a single flint flake was recovered from the western part of the site. [Au] SMR primary record number:LS 2343

Five evaluation trenches were opened to investigate features identified by geophysics, as well as to take in areas that were not subjected to non-intrusive survey. For the most part, anomalies identified by geophysics were found to be of natural origin, though one feature produced two joining sherds of probable Iron Age pottery.

A total of nine trenches were investigated. One of these, in the north-east corner of the site, exposed the chalk rubble foundations of a possible Roman building and a pre-Christian adult burial. A substantial boundary ditch, intermittently in use for around a thousand years, ran across the northern portion of the site. A possible Iron Age/Romano-British round house was identified in the southwest corner of the site, and a series of ditches of Romano-British and medieval date were also investigated.

Four trenches were investigated. The only archaeological features exposed comprised a spread of gravel at the western limit of the site, and a chalk and flint foundation, which appeared to be part of a building fronting Marsh Lane. [Au(abr)] SMR primary record number:LS 2102

Fieldwalking of the area recovered low densities of materials dating from the Roman to the early modern periods. The majority of the finds were concentrated towards the centre of the site, across a spread of stone, which may be of archaeological origin. [Au(abr)] SMR primary record number:LS 2503

Evaluation trenching in advance of house building sampled almost 4% of the application area. Found dispersed linear ditches were located and sectioned. They produced no datable artefacts but are likely to be part of a Roman field system know from crop marks 150m to the north. Settlement evidence was absent. It was concluded that the potential archaeological impact of the development was negligible. [Au(abr)] SMR primary record number:LS 2421 Archaeological Investigations Project 2003 Field Evaluations

Five trenches excavated within the development area demonstrated the absence of occupation later than natural clays exposed across the central and western parts of the site. The exception to this was a single mid 19th century rubbish pit that contained both industrial and domestic waste. [Au(abr)] SMR primary record number:2416

At the northern end of the site trial excavations confirmed the existence of a ditched enclosure. The shallow ditches to the east and north were investigated and a small area in the interior of the enclosure. The interior was found to have been subdivided by slots which would have held fences or hedges, and a concentration of features in one area: slots, post holes, and gullies, represented successive rectangular timber buildings which lay towards the centre of the enclosure. No floors or other contemporary surfaces survived, having presumably been removed by later ploughing. It was assumed that the settlement would have been a farmstead, with pottery recovered from the enclosure ditches and the features within, being of early Romano-British date.
