Abstract: |
In December 2009 twelve archaeological trial trenches were excavated on a proposed development area at RAF Upwood, Cambridgeshire. A number of gullies dating to the Roman period were found in trenches 6 and 7 and appear to form part of a Roman ditch system. Trench 8 exposed four gullies of unknown date. Trench 12 contained two undated ditches and a series of plough scars. Trenches 1-5 and 9-11 were devoid of archaeological features. The evaluation encountered extensive disturbance related to the WW2 and post-war airfield, particularly between the standing buildings. Trenches 3 and 5 were targeted on geophysical anomalies, neither of which were found to be of archaeological origin. |
