Abstract: |
In July 2017 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation of land at 8 Mill Road, Fen Drayton, Cambridgeshire CB24 4ST (NGR TL 3295 6825).The evaluation was required by Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team (CCC HET), as advisors to the Local Planning Authority, to provide for the initial requirements of a planning condition attached to planning approval (South Cambs Planning Ref. S/0326/16/FL). It is proposed to construct two new dwellings and an associated driveway. The site lies within an area that has revealed significant evidence of later prehistoric, Roman, and medieval occupation and agricultural exploitation. A complex of cropmarks lies opposite the site, recorded by aerial photography (CHER 08825). Further cropmark complexes are recorded both to the north and south of the site (CHER 08824, 08829, 08830, 09163). The cropmarks are likely to be indicative of later prehistoric/Roman settlement and field systems, and field systems of medieval date. The site lay in the agricultural hinterland between the medieval settlements at Fenstanton and Fen Drayton. All the trenches contained features but those within Trench 4 were modern. The features in Trenches 1 - 3 contained no finds and are undated. The larger number of features were contained in Trench 1 towards the front of the site. The features were principally ditches but included a pit (F1009 Trench 1). |
