Abstract: |
In October 2014 Archaeological Solutions Limited (AS) carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land at Sunnycroft Farm, Warboys Road, Pidley, Cambridgeshire PE28 3DA (NGR TL 3312 7794). The evaluation was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning permission for the construction of two detached dwellings, with associated garages and ancillary works (Hunts DC Ref. 1200279FUL), based on advice from Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team (CCC HET). The site lies within an area of archaeological potential, in particular for remains of medieval settlement activity. The site lies between the two distinct settlement cores of the village of Pidley, and has the potential to shed light on the development of the settlement (and whether it originally formed two separate settlements which merged or if an original settlement core became dispersed as it developed). An area of surviving medieval ridge-and-furrow cultivation lies to the immediate east (Historic Environment Record No HER MCB13678). Various standing medieval structures are present in the two settlement cores of Pidley (e.g. HER MCB4373, MCB14634 and MCB1362). The evaluation recorded an undated ditch, F1003 (Trench 1), and two post-medieval (17th - 18th century) pits, F1008 and F1010 (Trench 2). No residual finds were found. Modern disturbance was minimal (a modern drain) and did not inhibit the evaluation. |
