Abstract: |
In December 2011 Archaeological Solutions Ltd conducted a trial trench evaluation on land west of Manor Farm, Washpit Lane, Harlton, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 3854 5262). The evaluation was undertaken in advance of the construction of a new hay/straw and cattle store along with a reed bed and access (Planning Ref. S/15113/10/F). Archaeological features were identified in all six trial trenches. The majority contained finds of medieval date, including fragments of pottery produced between the 10th and 14th centuries. The features comprised six small pits (F1003, F1005, F1007, F1012, F1014 and F1022), a large silt-filled depression (F1010), a ditch or gully (F1020), an irregular shallow depression (F1027) and what was recorded on site as a large 'fish pool' or pond (F1016), which covered all of Trench 5 and much of Trenches 4 and 6. The archaeology is of considerable local interest, adding to understanding of the development of the village at Harlton during the medieval period. |
