Full Description
During a programme of archaeological monitoring and recording on land adjacent to Walnut House, Maidenwell Lane, Navenby, four walls were identified, most likely representing former dwellings on the site. An east-west aligned limestone wall foundation was identified below topsoil at the northern end of the site, running parallel to Maidenwell Lane, which survived as a single course and extending westwards for circa 10m. The wall had been built within a 0.6m wide foundation trench and backfilled with a reddish-brown sandy clay. A second limestone wall foundation was identified in the same area, aligned north-south and extending southwards for 3.7m from the south face of the east-west wall, and was set into a 0.8m wide construction cut. A third wall was perpendicular to the first wall and was similar in composition and build. A substantial north-south aligned wall was seen in the south-eastern corner of the site, which survived to three courses and a height of 0.4m. It was similar in composition and build to the first wall. It was set within a 1.2m wide foundation trench over a 0.8m wide limestone foundation. The backfill contain a small amount of animal bone, including a horse tooth, a cow tooth and a cow ankle bone. These walls may represent one or more former dwellings. Pottery recovered from the backfill of the walls suggests a date of late 18th to mid 19th century for their construction. {1}{2}
