Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out on land to the north of Ramsey Road and west of 94 Ramsey Road, Warboys, Cambridgeshire between 09/02/15 and 11/02/15 centred on TL 2998 8063. The work took place as part of investigative fieldwork ahead of the construction of 19 affordable houses, new services and access road. The development site covers an area of approximately 5,450 square metres. Three archaeological trenches were positioned to achieve a representative sample of the site. The presence of two small fragments of Roman pottery (one found in a ditch in Trench 3) and one fragment of tile are likely to be the result of manuring. The ditch (in Trench 3) containing a single small sherd of Roman pottery is tentatively interpreted as a Roman cultivation ditch. A second, roughly parallel ditch approximately 16m to the east (in Trench 1) is possibly contemporary but was undated. Medieval finds from the site include an iron strap end and five small sherds of pottery. Most of the pottery was found as residual in later features and may be the result of manuring. One feature, a large shallow pit in Trench 1, may be medieval in date, based on the presence of three medieval sherds of pottery. The remaining three ditches are likely to be post-medieval in date. All are aligned approximately east to west. A single posthole contained one sherd of 18th-19th century pottery. |
