Abstract: |
This report details the results of an archaeological trial trench evaluation at Welch's, Granta Terrace, Stapleford, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 4677 5164) undertaken during 1st to 7th May 2014. The evaluation was commissioned by Welch's Group Holdings Limited and Wrenbridge (Stapleford) Ltd to address a planning condition placed on the development of the site. The aim of the evaluation was to determine the potential for surviving archaeological remains. The evaluation identified a single probable modern pit within Trench 1. Modern disturbance and made ground were present in all trenches and in areas of the site, there were significant levels of ground contamination. The natural geological substrate was only exposed in four trenches, although in several places, this had been impacted upon by the modern ground disturbance. Given the depth of the overlying modern deposits and the low-lying natural substrate, the natural geology was not exposed in the remaining trenches. Alluvial deposits overlying the natural gravel terraces were revealed in three of the trenches and infer the possibility of undisturbed natural geology existing at depth across areas of the site. |
