Abstract: |
Northamptonshire Archaeology excavated a series of trial trenches on land to the east of Over Road at Longstanton, Cambridgeshire on behalf of John Samuels Archaeological Consultants. A geophysical survey of the area had indicated the presence of a ditch or land drain, five possible pits and an iron pipeline. A number of shallow gullies were found in four of the trenches. They were sealed by alluvium, suggesting that they were of some antiquity. No finds were recovered from any of them. A large post-medieval ditch, or dyke, which cut the alluvium, was seen in three trenches aligned with the track to the north-east of the site. A number of tree-boles, which may correspond to the pits located by the geophysical survey, were observed. The linear feature found by the survey was a land drain. |
