Abstract: |
A pre-application archaeological evaluation was undertaken to investigate the area of a proposed lake to the rear of 2 Great North Road, Chawston. Three trial trenches were excavated in the area of the proposed lake. None of the trenches contained any archaeological remains indicating that the Development Area may lie in a buffer zone within higher concentrations of prehistoric funerary monuments, as recorded at St Neots and the Biddenham Loop, for example. The exposed soils within the trenches showed the mixed gravel and sand deposits of the 1st River Terrace. The site lies on the edge of the River Great Ouse alluvial soils, indicated by a relatively thin layer of alluvium which overlay the gravels in the eastern part of the site but petered out towards the western edge of the proposed lake. |
