Abstract: |
A two-trench archaeological evaluation was carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology on land at No. 1 Bury Road, Ramsey, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 2841 8487) on 19th February 2014. The archaeological work was commissioned by Cindy Cade in response to a planning condition attached to residential development. The aim of the work was to characterise the archaeological potential of the site. The evaluation identified a medieval (12th-14th-century) rubbish pit suggestive of occupation in the vicinity. This was sealed by a buried plough-soil, indicating that the site subsequently reverted to agricultural use. The results of the fieldwork enhance understanding of the medieval development of this part of Ramsey and can be characterised as being of local significance. |
