Abstract: |
A planning application for the expansion of an existing solar park at Skylark Meadow, Bourn, is in preparation for submission to South Cambridgeshire District Council. Twelve trenches were opened along the line of the proposed cable trench. Three trenches produced remains of archaeological interest. A ditch in Trench 10 may represent the remains of a Roman boundary feature. An undated ditch was found in Trench 8. Two ditches in Trench 5 produced no dating evidence, although their form, the presence of burnt stone and lack of later artefacts recovered could suggest that they are pre-medieval in origin. Shallow furrow remains in Trenches 7-11 suggest that the majority of the ridge and furrow has been destroyed by later ploughing. The lack of subsoil would also support this and suggests possible plough truncation of any shallower archaeological remains that might exist in the immediate area. The limited archaeological remains in the trenches and the paucity of artefacts are indicative of low level, past human activity, which is probably agricultural in origin rather than settlement-related. . |
