Abstract: |
In April 2013 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out archaeological evaluation at Church Hall Farm, Woodditton, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 6607 6021). The evaluation was commissioned by Darley Stud Management Co Ltd and undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval to construct an endurance track and ancillary works. A length of the Icknield Way borders the northern edge of the site. A ring ditch and Bronze Age and Iron Age ditches and pits are located 300m to the south and beyond. Prehistoric features were excavated 400-650m to the north. A Romano-British field system was located 300m to the south. Saxo-Norman pottery was found in a pit 660m to the east and the arm of a medieval moat survives 630m north of the site. The 1884-5 OS map records a chalk pit in the south-west corner. Sparse struck flint was found in the topsoil (Trs.1 and 2), colluvium (Tr.3) and subsoil (Tr.3). Two features of early date were recorded during the trial trench evaluation. Ditch F1010 in Trench 4 at the far eastern end of the site contained early Neolithic flint, and Ditch F1031 in Trench 7 in the centre of the southern edge of the site contained mid - late Iron Age pottery. Two other features, a large pit (F1018) in Trench 9 in the south western corner and a small gully (F1016) in Trench 5 on the eastern side were both of modern date. |
