Another interesting lost 'island' from Lincolnshire—albeit one situated on the edge of the Middle Marsh rather than in the Outmarsh—is Little Carlton; some of the fascinating Middle Saxon finds from here (including this glass mount) are currently on display in @LouthMuseum :)pic.twitter.com/3DQWWHKoj6
