[2060] soft to moderately firm mid grey silty sand with frequent pea gravel inclusions and
frequent land snail shells
[2060] firm light yellow sand
[2063] cut 2.70m x 1.48m wide and 0.28m deep with gradual sloping sides and uneven
slightly concave base
F.1241 was a posthole that was located with the saltern area that was previously excavated during
1994. This had evidence of possible animal activity which resulted with the authenticity of the feature
unclear. The fill consisted of;
[2064] firm mid grey clayish silt with occasional gravel and chalk inclusions with occasional
flecks of charcoal
[2065] cut oval in plan 0.90m x 0.49m wide and 0.52m deep with the south being much
steeper and the edge undercut with a concave base
F.1242 was a large pit that was partly excavated during the excavation of the saltern site during 1994
by Heritage Lincolnshire. Bushes were growing in the feature that was originally left open and not
backfilled; although the feature was not fully excavated which allowed part of the pit to be excavated
during this investigation as it lay the CAU's designated area. The fills consisted of;
[2066] firm dark grey/brown clayish silt with occasional small stone inclusions and with rare
to occasional flecks of charcoal and fired clay and evidence of modern root system
[2067] firm dark blue/grey silt with rare gravel inclusions and moderate flecks of charcoal and
occasional small fragments of fired clay and evidence of modern root system
[2068] firm dark blue/grey silt with frequent density of charcoal and fragments of fired clay
[2069] firm and crumbly light grey clayish silt with occasional orange mottling and frequent
gravel inclusions
[2070] cut sub oval pit c. 1,40m x 3.40m+ wide and at 0.56m+ deep with sloping concave
sides and concave base
F.1243 was a shallow depression adjacent to F.1241 which was probably Post Medieval and associated
with F.1244. The fill consisted of;
[2072] firm dark grey silty clay with occasional gravel inclusions
[2073] cut 0.53m x 0.31m wide and 0.08m deep with sloping concave sides and concave base
F.1244 was a short shallow linear that was probably Post Medieval and associated with F.1243. The fill
consisted of;
[2074] firm dark grey silty clay with occasional gravel inclusions
[2075] cut 1.28m x 0.22m wide and 0.08m deep with shallow sloping sides and sharp concave
base
F.1246 was an isolated truncated posthole that was situated to the west of F. 1247. The fills consisted
of;
[2076] soft dark grey silt with rare gravel inclusions, frequent flecks of charcoal and
occasional fired clay
[2077] re-deposited natural mixed white and orange silty clay
[2078] cut circular in plan and 0.40m x 0.33m and 0.07m deep with sloping concave sides and
concave base
F.1247 was a small pit that was situated to the east of F. 1247, a truncated posthole. The fills consisted
of;
[2079] soft dark grey silt with rare gravel inclusions, frequent flecks of charcoal and moderate
fragments of fired clay
[2080] re-deposited natural mixed white and orange silty clay and orange gravelly clay

sides and concave base
