Abstract: |
Between the 22nd and 25th of July 2014, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out archaeological trial trench evaluation at 2 and 2A Bishops Road, Trumpington, Cambridge (NGR TL 4474 5442). The evaluation was commissioned by Ms Tracy Scutt and undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval to build a new residential development of two 4-bedroom dwellings following the demolition of the existing building (Planning ref. (13/1739/FUL). The archaeological evidence, particularly from excavations centred on Clay Farm to the north-east and Glebe Farm to the south-west of the development site, shows that the local landscape was intensively used in the prehistoric and Roman periods. Possible Palaeolithic flints tools were found 200m to the west. Neolithic to Roman occupation evidence was excavated 250-350m to the north-east, and Iron Age pits and post-holes have been identified 300m to the west of. A late Saxon coin was found 20m to the north of the site and a medieval coin 100m to the east. In the event the evaluation revealed no archaeological features or finds. |
