Site Event/Activity record ESF21830 - Monitoring, 35 The Street, Icklingham

Monitoring identified features were in 6 of the trenches. Garage plots 1 and 2 and Gas tank plot 1 all contained a boundary ditch running NE-SW. This boundary can be seen on the 1883 Ordnance Survey map and a sherd dated to 16th – 18th century was recovered from a segment of the ditch excavated in Garage Plot 1. A single feature, most probably a pit, was found towards the SW extent of garage plot 3. Finds recovered from this feature have been identified as post-medieval in origin. Three pits, with datable evidence, were found towards the south end of the site in the footings for House plot 1. Particularly significant was pit 0102, excavation of which found a sherd of 10th - 11th century pottery. This was the oldest find recovered from the monitoring and points to this feature (0102) being contemporary with the first medieval settlement of Icklingham. A further 3 pits and a single linear feature were found in House Plot 3 at the NE end of the site. No finds were recovered from these features and stratigraphic analysis points to three of the features (0126, 0128 and 0131) being fairly recent in date (S2).
