Abstract/Summary
A scheme of archaeological trial trenching was undertaken on land north of Cliffhill Lane, Aslockton.
The site lies on the northern periphery of the village, on the north side of Cliffhill Lane. Aerial photography and archaeological investigations have identified a complex of cropmarks and features north of the village relating to prehistoric and Roman occupation. The scheduled remains of the medieval Cramners Mound and associated features lie to the south.
The trenching was based on a geophysical survey of the site, and revealed ditches that generally corresponded with identified linear magnetic anomalies; thought to relate to field boundaries seen on historic mapping. One large ditch did not correspond with any mapping, nor did it feature as a magnetic anomaly. The remains of ridge and furrow were identified across the site.
Dating evidence was limited; a single sherd each of Roman grey ware, Saxon Torksey ware and a later post-medieval sherd associated with a fragment of CBM of the same date. These artefacts are thought to be trace evidence of activity in the wider landscape; residual in later features.
