Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology Ltd conducted an intrusive evaluation on land at Gores Farm, located to the East of Peterborough, on the edge of the Fens. The evaluation was undertaken in order to provide further information on the sub-surface archaeological potential of the proposed Development Area. The work was commissioned by Peterborough Wind Energy Ltd. A total of 23 trenches were excavated within the DA. This resulted in the investigation of a Neolithic Barrow ring ditch with multiple fills, and several phases of negative feature, which are most likely the result of historic land improvement and clay extraction. Such remains are of significance locally/regionally and are likely to require mitigation measures as part of any construction programme. |
