Abstract: |
In March 2014 Archaeological Solutions Limited (AS) carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation at Acorn Farm, Padgett's Road, Christchurch, March, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 4859 965. The evaluation was undertaken in compliance with an archaeological condition attached to planning approval for the construction of a dwelling and garage (Planning Ref. F/YR13/0790/F), based on the advice of Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team (CCC HET), advisors to the Local Planning Authority. The site lies on the western edge of a distinct pattern of cropmarks showing enclosures thought to be of Roman date and differing from other enclosure systems associated with Romanised farmsteads. These cropmarks are believed to be in the form of 'Centuriation'; land granted to retiring senior ranks in the Roman Army. The parish in general has a significant potential for remains of Roman date. The evaluation at Acorn Farm produced only features of modern date. Those features in Trench 1 relate to structures/fencing of the farm yard belonging to the current farm house, whilst those in Trench 2 relate to the disposal of domestic animals and fowl. |
