Abstract:		 In October 2015 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological monitoring and recording at Decoy Farm, Spalding, Lincolnshire (NGR TF 2627 1278). The monitoring was commissioned by Push Energy in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning permission for the construction of a new solar farm. The site lies to the north-east of the historic town of Crowland, which includes the ruins of a medieval abbey, within the Historic Landscape Character (HLC) zone of The Eastern Fens (FEN2). The latter is characterized by isolated farmsteads and ragged linear settlements along main roads. Also evidence of Iron Age and Roman saltmaking in the form of salterns and occupation, are known some 1km to the east and include three Scheduled Ancient Monuments. Therefore the site had a potential for prehistoric, Romano-British, medieval and post-medieval archaeological remains. The ground disturbance associated with the construction of the solar farm was minimal. The principal element of the project, the solar panels, were constructed on thin stilts using a single pile system, 120mm x 60mm. Access was gained using a temporary trackway. The principal element monitored was the mechanically excavated trench for a new electricity supply for the solar farm. The trench was a substantial length (c.450m) and no archaeological features or finds were present.
