Abstract: |
Planning consent has been granted for the demolition of existing buildings and the construction of two new dwellings and associated garages at the land between 58 and 66 Main Street Yaxley, Cambridgeshire. The trial trenching was carried out in August-September 2013 and comprised the excavation of five trenches located within the development area. The evaluation revealed a relatively high level of archaeological evidence. This includes early to late medieval activity predominantly in a form of pits, ditches and a possible hearth as well as a possible associated occupation horizon in Trench 1. Post-medieval activity was represented by a possible pond, located to the rear of the property in the north part of the site. Modern sub-surface remains took the form of yard surface (Trench 3) and a retaining wall for a cellar that had been subsequently backfilled (Trench 2). |
