Abstract: |
In October 2008, Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation at 3 and 5 Old Station Road, Ramsey, in advance of residential development. The desk-based assessment showed potential for multi-period remains to be encountered on the site. Previous excavations have indicated that the land close to the site was reclaimed in the medieval period which likely explains the dearth of prehistoric and Roman remains in the vicinity. There was a considerable potential for encountering evidence from the 12th to 13th century onwards relating to the urban expansion of the town. Trench 2 contained a number of small boundary ditches or gullies. The earliest of these were Ditch F1029 and Gully F1023. No datable artefacts were recovered from either of these although Ditch F1020 did contain an iron square-headed nail. These were sealed by the accumulation of subsoil (L1012). Later, over the approximate line of Ditch F1020 a further ditch (F1018) was cut and when this was filled it was re-cut (F1016). At the eastern end of Trench 2 a construction cut or large pit (F1013) was present. |
