Abstract: |
In January 2013 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation at Ebenezer Methodist Church, Kirk Gate, Walsoken, Cambs (centred on NGR TL 4753 1042). The evaluation was carried out in advance of the proposed demolition of the existing church and hall and construction of three dwellings with ancillary works as a condition of planning permission (Fenland Ref. F/YR12/0819/O). The site is situated within the historic core of Walsoken. It lies on the line of the Sea Bank, which is a flood defence earthwork of probable medieval date (Cambridgeshire HER 19097), the further extent of which is recorded on the Norfolk Historic Environment Record beyond the Cambridgeshire border. Archaeological investigations at the Bell PH to the immediate north identified deposits of medieval and post-medieval date (HER ECB3711). The site thus had a potential for remains of medieval and post-medieval occupation, and for evidence associated with the construction/date of the Sea Bank earthwork. In the event only two sherds of medieval (13th - 15th century) pottery were found within Subsoil L1026. The features and finds were predominantly modern and associated with the construction and use of the Methodist church and hall. |
