Abstract: |
In July 2013 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out archaeological monitoring and recording at Church Hall Farm, Woodditton, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 6607 6021; Figs. 1 and 2). The monitoring was commissioned by Taylor Vinters on behalf of Darley Stud Management Co Ltd in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning permission for the construction of an endurance track (Planning Ref. 13/00286/FUL), based on advice from CCC HET. A trial trench evaluation of the line of the proposed track was undertaken by AS in April 2013 (Barlow and Thompson 2013). Sparse struck flint was found in topsoil, subsoil and colluvial layers. Two features of early date were recorded. A ditch at the far eastern end of the site contained early Neolithic flints, and a large ditch was recorded in the centre of the southern part of the track route. The latter contained mid to late Iron Age pottery, and may represent part of an enclosure. The monitoring recorded ditches, gullies, pits and post holes. The ditches were commonly orientated NW/SE (Fig.7). The post holes occurred in clusters in the north west and north east sector of the site (Figs. 18 and 20-22). The majority of features contained no finds and were undated. The exception was Ditch F2014 which contained a sherd of early medieval (10th - 12th century) pottery. The monitoring did not correlate very well with the evaluation which recorded prehistoric (early Neolithic, and mid - late Iron Age finds (flint and pottery) but the recorded features and finds were sparse. |
