Abstract: |
In September and October 2009 Archaeological Solutions (AS) undertook an archaeological evaluation of land at, and including, the Old Forge and 22 High Street, St Neots, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 5183 2602). The site had a good potential for multi-phase remains dating from the Saxon period. Previous discovery of remains from the prehistoric and Roman periods is limited in the area which suggested a relatively low potential of finding evidence from these periods. The evaluation results confirmed the site's potential for the presence of medieval remains. Trenches 2 and 4, located in the middle of the site and towards the rear, on the eastern side of the site, were much truncated by modern features. Trench 1 towards the front of the site displayed relatively well-preserved archaeology, and contained a medieval pit, but finds were relatively sparse. Towards the rear of the site, on the western side, beneath a deep (1m+) overburden, inter-cutting medieval pits, postholes and a Gully were identified. Two features, F1017 and F1020, contained medieval (13th - 14th century) pottery and residual St Neots (Saxo-Norman) pottery. Other finds were relatively sparse. |
