Abstract: |
Between the 11th and 14th October 2013, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out archaeological evaluation of land at 7 Dock Road, Chatteris, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 3912 8683). The evaluation was commissioned by Lee Bevens, architect, on behalf of Bev Mottram and was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval for a residential development of three dwellings (Fenland Planning Ref. F/YR13/0034/O). The site lies within an area where medieval settlement/ activity may be present, and it was deemed important to identify if this extended into the current development area. The site also lies within an area of locally higher ground close to the Slade Lode Bridge which formerly crossed the New Leame waterway between Chatteris and March. The main medieval settlement lay further south, but investigations at Cox's Lane by HAT in 2003 revealed evidence of medieval activity south of Dock Road (Cambridgeshire Historic Environment Record (MCB15741). This suggests that the line of the route to March which became the High Street was settled during this period. However, the evaluation trenches at No. 7 Dock Road revealed no medieval archaeology suggesting that medieval settlement did not extend this far on the eastern side of the High Street. Only early modern/ modern features and layers were revealed during the evaluation. |
