Abstract: |
Planning permission was granted for a new school hall and temporary classrooms at All Saints' Voluntary Aided Junior School, Dogsthorpe Road, Peterborough. The areas which were available for archaeological inspection covered only a very limited area within the groundworks undertaken for the surface and foul water drains. The small sondage in an area to the south-west of the new building provided some indication of the nature of the deposits likely to be affected by development in Phase 2. It revealed a possible feature, which produced the only find from the development site - a sherd of medieval pottery. This indicates that some level of medieval settlement once existed in the vicinity, but medieval agricultural practices such as manuring are known to have led to wide dispersal of domestic refuse in the open countryside. The feature may simply be a backfilled pond or slope-wash filling a natural depression, but it could equally well have been created during the construction of the former swimming pool. |
