Abstract: |
Between 1st and 8th August 2005, Cambridgeshire County Council Archaeological Field Unit carried out an archaeological evaluation by trial trenching at St Neots Community College in advance of construction of a tennis court. The site lies to the west of the historic town of St Neots, close to the flood plain of the Great Ouse. From the outset it was hoped that this evaluation would identify activities associated with the nearby prehistoric landscape of the Ouse valley. Immediately to the south of the subject site lies a rich prehistoric landscape, including a Neolithic long barrow and a cursus (Ellis 2004).This evaluation revealed a large number of undated features including ditches and pits which are possibly prehistoric or Roman in origin. Trench 1 revealed a number of undated ditches which may have related to a possible north-south droveway which formed part of larger Roman pastoral/agricultural landscape. |
