Abstract:
An archaeological investigation was carried out at Devils Ditch (or Dyke), Cambridgeshire on December 1st and 2nd 2015. A total of five hand excavated 1m square test pits were opened into the upper most fills of the ditch, three to a depth of 1m. This work was undertaken to determine if the ditch infill contained sufficient amounts of re-deposited chalk to be used to repair erosion scars on the dyke bank. Unfortunately there was no evidence of suitable chalk material. The materials exposed within the test pits were all modern in date, presumably derived from 20th century infilling as a result of local agriculture.
