Abstract: |
In July 2015 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation of land at the Recreation Ground, Cambridge Road, Waterbeach, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 4949 6512; Figs. 1 - 2). The evaluation was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning permission for the construction of a skate park (South Cambs Ref. S/02879/14FL). The evaluation was undertaken as a variation of advice from Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team (CCC HET) requiring a programme of archaeological work comprising archaeological monitoring. The site is in an area of high archaeological potential. The medieval church of St John the Evangelist lies 230m to the east (HER NCB6783), and 200m to the south east lies the Scheduled Ancient Monument of medieval Waterbeach Abbey (DCB352). Roman and Saxon settlement activity is also recorded from the general area (HER MCB13599 and MCB10814). The line of the Roman Car Dyke Canal, also Scheduled as an Ancient Monument, is located 110m to the south west. Excavations by AS at 12 Pieces Lane revealed middle Iron Age pits and early 2nd century AD Roman ditches and kilns (Newton 2011). Smallscale trial trenching revealed no archaeological features. A residual Roman sherd was found within the subsoil. |
