Tesco, former Stock Market, Brigg, North Lincolnshire

Two trenches were excavated by Oxford Archaeological Unit on the site of the proposed Tesco store on the former Stock Market. These revealed a number of 19th to 20th century features which were probably associated with the rear plots of houses shown on the 19th century OS maps. Other disturbance relates to services for the former stock market. There were only two features which could be earlier in date; a ditch in Trench 2 which contained a sherd of 14th-15th century pottery, which may be residual, and a ditch in Trench 1 which produced only bone.
