Abstract: |
In July 2013 Archaeological Solutions Limited (AS) carried out an archaeological excavation on land at Elliot Road, March, Cambridgeshire (TL 4045 9715). The excavation was undertaken in advance of the proposed construction of a residential development and ancillary works. The excavation followed an archaeological evaluation and the latter identified archaeological features principally on the western side of the site (Trs. 1-4). These features, mostly pits and ditches, were post-medieval or early modern. The ditches, broadly aligned N/S (F1003 (Tr.1), F1028 (Tr.2), F1020 (Tr.7) and F1030 (Tr.11), correlated with the boundary ditches recorded on the early maps. Discrete Early Bronze Age features (a pit and postholes) were recorded along the length of Trench 5, and an Early Bronze Age pottery sherd was found in Ditch F1010 (Tr.1). Two residual medieval (13th to 15th century) pottery sherds were found in Ditch F1020 (Tr.7) and Ditch F1028 (Tr.2). The excavation revealed no further early Bronze Age features, only features of 17th to 18th century and modern date comprising a boundary ditch (F2003), building remains and pits relating to the recently demolished piggery. Five residual sherds of medieval (13th to 14th) century pottery and one prehistoric sherd were found in Ditch F2003. The site was much disturbed by modern remains. |
