Abstract: |
In March 2014 Archaeological Solutions Limited (AS) carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation at Penny Ferry Public House, 110 Water Street, Cambridge (NGR TL 4859 9659). The evaluation was required by Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team (CCC HET), in advance of the proposed construction of a residential development of five 4-bedroom houses and ancillary works, as advisors to the Local Planning Authority (Planning Ref. 09/1200/FUL). The site averages 5m AOD and is located on river terrace gravels bordering the River Cam. Two Anglo-Saxon scramasaxes have been dredged from the river opposite the Pike and Eel Public House, now the Penny Ferry (CHER 05223, 04697). Belgic pottery consisting of a cordoned globular urn and a globular beaker were found on Stourbridge Common across the river from the site, which was also the location of a medieval fair (CHER 04699, 10176). A Roman coin was found 150m to the north-west of the development site (CHER 05578). In the event the evaluation revealed a modern ditch. |
