Abstract: |
In order to characterise the archaeological potential of the site of a proposed new development at The Gardens, Lynn Road, Ely, Cambridgeshire, the Heritage Network was commissioned by the owner to undertake an archaeological field evaluation by trial trenching. This work was a requirement of the planning consent granted by the local planning authority. Six trial trenches were excavated revealing natural sandstone, overlain by natural silty clay. Across most of the site the natural deposits were overlain by subsoil and topsoil. A single archaeological feature was encountered in Trench 4. This was an undated ditch which probably post-dated the Roman period and was cut through the subsoil. In addition, a soil layer and a probable root disturbance were investigated in Trench 6. Pottery sherds dating from the late Iron Age to the modern period were recovered from the overburden. It is probable that the earlier material was imported on to the site, either through plough action or in topsoil. |
