Land East of Church Street and South of Bicker Road, Donington, Lincolnshire: An Archaeological Investigation

Abstract

The Cambridge Archaeological Unit (CAU) was commissioned by Burmor Construction to undertake a trenched evaluation and subsequent monitoring on the development of a new Co-Op at land East of Church Street and South of Bicker Road, Donington, Lincolnshire (TF 2092 3601). An evaluation was carried out between the 5th and 7th July 2021, and identified a series of ditches and pits of 10th to 15th century date. This was complimented by an additional programme of archaeological monitoring comprising the excavation of an additional trench and the monitoring and recording of below ground elements of the construction works between the 7thand 8th October 2021. This additional work revealed a dense area of ditching and pits dating to the 10th to 15th century.
