Abstract:
In order to characterise the archaeological potential of the site of a proposed new development at 11a New Road, Ramsey, Cambridgeshire, the Heritage Network was commissioned by the developer to undertake an archaeological field evaluation. This work was a requirement of the planning consent granted by the local planning authority. A single 4m by 4m trench was excavated in the footprint of the proposed development and a 2.2m by 1.4m sondage was excavated in the southwest corner to examine the nature and depth of the alluvial deposits on the site. An Auger survey revealed that the alluvial deposits extent approximately 3.3m below the current ground level. The upper portion of a thick peat layer was dated by finds of pottery and tile to the late medieval period. The evaluation also revealed a sequence of water channels, dating from the late medieval and post-medieval periods, with an associated masonry pier. On the basis of these results, the risk that the development might disturb further archaeological remains of post-medieval date is High. Archaeological remains of earlier date, should they be present, are likely to be buried at considerable depth.
