Full Description
PRN 36466
Archaeological evaluation (trial trenching) on land at Belton Street, Stamford identified a linear wall, 1.7m wide of light greyish-yellow limestone aligned on a northeast to southwest orientation. The internal un-coursed rubble fill had a bonding of very compact clay. The single remaining external facing stone had a flat finish on its outer surface with no apparent tooling marks and was roughly cut on the inner surfaces. A single sherd of Bourne A/B ware pottery of 12th to 14th century date was recovered from within the foundation cut. It is possible that the wall may form part of the nearby, former Dominican friary; the remains of an associated outlying building or garden wall (PRN 30620). {1} {2}
