Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was conducted by NPS Archaeology ahead of the submission of a proposal for the development of the site of the former Burdett Nurseries at Eastrea Road, Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire. The archaeological potential of the site was thought to be reasonable high, lying close to a number of previously identified cropmark features of probable prehistoric and Roman date. The results revealed an arrangement of intercutting ditches and pits dating to the Late Iron Age and Roman periods. Although, there was no direct structural evidence on the site, the presence of Late Iron Age, Roman and medieval artefacts and a possible oven suggests that historic activity had occurred within the vicinity of the site. |
