Site Event/Activity record ESF19459 - Evaluation, Weir Place, Kirton

An archaeological evaluation was undertaken in advance of the construction of a residential development at Weir Place, Kirton, in order to characterise the nature of any surviving archaeological deposits. The site lies adjacent to an extensive late prehistoric cropmark area, and on the outskirts of a village at least medieval in origin. Five trenches were excavated over the plot and were stripped to the level of the natural subsoil. Two undated features, one perhaps natural in origin, were noted alongside some modern disturbance, but no archaeological finds or further features were recorded.
