Abstract: |
This report describes the results of an archaeological trial trench evaluation carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology on land at Granary Lodge, land between Hitches Street and Granary Lane, Littleport, Cambridgeshire on the 15th December 2014. The earliest activity was evidenced by a buried soil horizon, sealed beneath the subsoil in Trench one, which contained bone fragments, ceramic building material dating from the Roman and medieval period and pottery dating from 10th-14th century plus some earlier Roman sherds. The range and date of finds recovered suggest a medieval buried soil. The uppermost deposits recovered were related to the dumping of demolition rubble from a nearby brewery and the subsequent removal and ground levelling activity by the current landowner. |
