Abstract: |
The proposed mineral extraction development area of c.6.5ha laid to the north of Dimmock's Cote Road outside of Wicken. Roman and prehistoric archaeology had been uncovered during excavations by the Archaeological Field Unit of Cambridgeshire County Council prior to past extraction work at the quarry. The site appeared to have been in agricultural use for the past two centuries until Euston Lime began the extraction of lime. Evidence of past activity to the north, east and south, and the lack of recent development suggested a high potential for the preservation of archaeology on the site. Excavations in the 1990s identified Bronze Age archaeological remains and a medieval field system. [Au(abr)] |
