Winteringham Ings - Archaeological Watching Brief Report and Borehole Survey

Wessex Archaeology

The watching brief was centred on two areas (Area 1 and Area 2). An oval shaped feature and an irregular shaped elongated feature were encountered in Area 1. Features have been preserved in situ. No archaeological features were encountered in Area 2.

The borehole survey was focussed on two transects across what was identified as a relict channel of the River Ancholme. The survey also shows sediments associated with the River Ancholme, as well as those of the wider Ancholme valley.

An additional watching brief was carried out during later groundworks related to drainage ditches.
