Summary

RB DOMESTIC SITE, SPALDING

Full description

At TF26032263, TF26042266, TF26062269 in July 1951 the boys of Spalding Grammar School discovered three Roman domestic sites. They were exposed in cutting the River Welland deviation, on a clay surface at 5ft OD, and under 5ft of later estuarine to marine silt, and each site consisted of a layer of occupation debris 6 ins thick and 10 ft long containing charcoal, bones, c100-300AD pottery, and pollen. At A - TF26052266 a few lumps of glazed slag and two pieces wedge-shaped 'end' suggest a possible kiln but no wasters were found. {1}{2}{3}{4}{5}
Indicated sites are now within the New Welland Cut.{1}
