Full Description
During a programme of archaeological monitoring and recording on land at Gig Cottage, Gainsborough Road, Middle Rasen in 2022, the remains of which may have been a toft or enclosed field associated with the settlement of Middle Rasen Drax were recorded. The plot of land which was excavated had been thought to be an original medieval burgage plot due to its narrow linear shape and form, however the low level of settlement activity recorded during the archaeological monitoring, which comprised a pit and possible timber beam slot, suggests that the site may have been on the periphery of the medieval settlement of Middle Rasen Drax, and therefore this plot may represent a toft or enclosed field. {1}{2}
