Abstract: |
In April 2012 Archaeological Solutions Limited (AS) conducted an archaeological evaluation (trial trenching) on land to the rear of Barton Lodge, 89 Cambridge Road, Ely, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 5347 7966). The evaluation was undertaken in compliance with a condition attached to planning approval for the construction of two detached dwellings (East Cambs DC Ref. 11/00897/OUT). The site lies in an area of archaeological potential on the northern eastern side of Cambridge Road, on the south-western edge of Ely, to the rear of 89 Cambridge Road. It currently comprises a rear garden plot, and lies at a height of c.25m AOD on glaciofluvial drift deposits of sand and gravel associated with the fenland 'island' upon which Ely lies. The Cambridgeshire Historic Environment Record records the presence of a rich archaeological landscape; extensive areas of late Saxon and medieval occupation have been recorded outside the main historic core of Ely, in particular to the west of the site (HER MCB16830). Iron Age settlement is also known from this part of the 'island' (HER 015472, 15478). Although the evaluation had potential for identifying the presence of late Saxon and medieval occupation, as well as earlier prehistoric activity, no archaeological features of that date were present. Trench 1 revealed modern rubbish pits and postholes. Trench 2 contained a post-medieval ditch (F1003). |
