Abstract: |
Archaeological investigations comprising of two linear trenches and a series of test pits were undertaken in advance of the construction of two small dwellings. The investigation produced evidence primarily for Late Saxon / Saxo-Norman remains dating from the 10th to 12th centuries. At least five foundation trenches were located, implying the presence of timber structures. The remains had been dated through the study of a small pottery assemblage. Late Saxon or Saxo-Norman features had been recovered from three sites in the area, perhaps suggesting settlement spanning at least 250 metres (from 38 Station Road to the site of earlier investigations at Soham County Infants School). A ditch parallel to Station Road also showed that the line of the street had probably been an important landscpae feature since the Late Saxon period. [Au] |
