Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a trial trench archaeological evaluation on land at Greetwell Fields, on the eastern outskirts of Lincoln in advance of the proposed development of the site for housing. Although the site lies within a landscape of high archaeological potential a geophysical survey of the site did not identify any anomalies of obvious archaeological potential and this low potential has been borne out by the results of the evaluation. Four small ditches have been recorded in three trenches in the northern half of the site but no datable material was recovered from any of them. It is assumed that these features may be outlying boundary or drainage ditches associated with the Roman/Romano-British activity recorded to the immediate west of the current site.
