Abstract: |
Fifty five evaluation trenches were excavated within three areas within the Cambourne New Settlement, as part of a continuing programme of archaeological work in advance of development. These areas consisted of: parcels of land at Settlement Centre Road (area a, GC31 and CR01, NGR 5324 2598 and 5324 2597), GC05 and CR06 area b (NGR 5318 2593 and 5326); and, area c, Phase 4 and 5 housing adjacent to Jeavons Lane (GC12-13, 16, 24 and 27, centred on 5322 2590). Evidence of two clusters of significant archaeological activity was found within the Phase 4 and 5 housing, adjacent to Jeavons Lane, bisected by Monkfield Drive. The largest cluster lay immediately to the south of Monkfield Drive and consisted of at least one large enclosure, numerous linear field boundaries and pit/post hole features, all dating from the late prehistoric into the Roman period. A second smaller cluster lay 120m further to the north. This consisted of a single enclosure and well, together with a linear field boundary and a small group of possible post holes, which appeared to date to the late prehistoric period. This evidence suggested the presence of significant multi-period archaeological activity, including likely settlement with pastoral and agricultural activity, within the area adjacent to Jeavons Lane. Currently a formal area excavation was underway at Jeavons Lane. No significant archaeological deposits, finds or features were found in the remaining evaluation areas. [Au(abr)] |
