Abstract:
In March 2007, an archaeological trial trench evaluation was carried out at three sites; Hereward Community College, John Mansfield School main site, and John Mansfield School satellite site. Seven trial trenches were excavated at Hereward Community College, immediately west of the course of the Car Dyke Roman watercourse. Trial trenches in the northern end of the site contained relatively shallow deposits of topsoil and recent subsoil, and no archaeological features or finds were present. In the south-eastern trenches, deep deposits were recorded, including a thick blanket of subsoil and organic-rich buried soils. One trench contained a single undated posthole, cut into natural clay deposits, another contained a cluster of undated postholes, cut into natural clay deposits and sealed by undated buried subsoil. Perpendicular to the course of the Car Dyke was an undated clay bank and a sequence of undated buried soil deposits that may be associated with the construction or maintenance of the Car Dyke. Four trial trenches were excavated at John Mansfield school main site No archaeological features or finds were present; the underlying superficial geology of the site comprised terrace gravels. Four trial trenches were excavated at John Mansfield School satellite site. No archaeological features or finds were present; the underlying superficial geology of the site was Anglian glacial till with patches of glacial sand.
