Abstract: |
In September 2014, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation in advance of the proposed erection of a new solar farm and associated works on land at Bury Farm, Spring Lane, Bassingbourn, Cambridgeshire. The evaluation was undertaken on behalf of Push Energy Ltd and was required by Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team, as advisors to the Local Planning Authority. Three ditches and two pits were encountered. Ditch F1019 was modern and the other features were undated. An unstratified medieval 9th - 12th century) pottery sherd (10g) was found. Several hollows were investigated but proved to be naturally occurring. One (F1035) contained miscellaneous pottery sherds (dating to the late 16th - 18th century (4g); 13th - 15th century (21g); and mid 3rd - mid 4th century (14g)), and CBM (10g), while another (F1017) contained prehistoric pottery (13g). These natural (periglacial) hollows may have been used as routeways, hence the occurrence of finds, although the material may have derived from erosion or ploughing of the overlying strata. |
