Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out by the Cambridge Archaeological Unitc onsisting of monitoring the investigation of magnetic anomalies and also the excavation of geotechnical test pits. Both surveys took place across Oakington Airfield and on land adjacent to Longstanton Golf Course. Given the extensive nature of both surveys the monitoring watching brief concentrated test pits within the vicinity of known sites. Additional excavations in non-archaeologically sensitive areas were monitored only as and when the opportunity arose. Three possible archaeological features were identified, comprising an undated ditch, a soil layer containing Roman pottery and an amorphos rectangular feature which may have been natural in character. |
