Abstract: |
Allen Archaeology Limited was commissioned by Leverington PCC to undertake an archaeological evaluation of land north of St Leonard's church in Leverington, Cambridgeshire. The proposed development site lies west of the early medieval sea bank known as the Roman Bank where some evidence of salt making have been recorded and the 13th century St Leonards church and the still used graveyard lies directly south of the development area The evaluation identified medieval archaeological activity in the western area of the site and sequences of flooding deposits in the eastern area. It suggests that the site has probably been stood under water for some time, probably since the prehistoric periods until the Roman Bank was put in, causing the water to retreat to the east and drying out the land in the western area of the site. All the rubbish pits and ditches post dates the flooding events. |
