Abstract: |
During May 2005, an archaeological evaluation was undertaken on the route of a proposed pipeline at Little Paxton. An initial desk based assessment concluded parts of the line of the route may pass through archaeological remains and that the area appeared to have remained in agricultural use from at least the Romano-British period. The evaluation consisted of seventeen trenches, of which nine were excavated on an island in the river and yielded only modern ploughmarks and re-deposited, probably dredged riverine deposits. The trenches to the south of the island revealed small drainage features, a posthole and a probable medieval furrow. With the exception of modern debris, no artefacts were present in the trenches. |
