Abstract: |
Allen Archaeology Limited was commissioned by David Futter Associates to undertake an archaeological evaluation to support a planning application for a residential development on land at Denny End Road, Waterbeach, Cambridgeshire. The site lies in an area of some archaeological interest, with evidence for Neolithic and late Bronze Age activity. The Roman Car Dyke canal is believed to have passed c.300m to the west of the site, and evidence for Roman activity in the vicinity is extensive, with a complex of cropmarks comprising linear boundaries, enclosures and trackways, probably of more than one phase of activity. Anglo-Saxon activity is also well represented in the area. Six trenches were excavated across the development area and exposed natural geological deposits, as well as a small number of modern features. The evaluation methodology was appropriate to the size and type of project. |
