Langtoft Quarry Lincolnshire: Further Excavations at the Freeman Land

Abstract

The final 0.98ha of the Freeman Land quarry site at Langtoft, Lincolnshire was stripped during May 2012. This area is the last phase within the Freeman Land site to be investigated. Only a handful of features were revealed within the area including a series of Bronze Age field system ditches, pits and a single pit-well. Two small pits representative of localised post-Medieval strip quarry activity were also exposed. The ditches are part of a larger network of Middle-Late Bronze Age field systems occupying the immediate vicinity, and with one exception, all have been exposed and investigated in previous phases of work in 2008, 2009 and 2011.
