Abstract: |
In February 2015 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation on the land to the north-east of 5 Back Lane (NGR: TL 5714 8707). The evaluation was commissioned in advance of the proposed construction of 16 houses with associated services/access on land north east of 5 Back Lane, Littleport, Cambridgeshire. It was required to support a planning application (East Cambs Council Ref. 14/00017/FUM) and based on advice from Cambridgeshire County Council requiring a programme of archaeological work. The evaluation recorded archaeological features on the higher ground (Trenches 4 and 5), at the southern end of the site. The features were all ditches, and undated, except Ditch F1008 (Trench 5) which contained post- medieval to early modern CBM, and Ditch F1010 which contained a modern (18th - 20th century) pottery sherd. Roddonised prehistoric channels were revealed (Trenches 2 (L1018) and 3 (L1024)). At the north end of the site (Trenches 1 - 3) the land drops away and deeper fen deposits (clay (L1015 (Tr.1), L1019 (Tr.2) L1023 (Tr.3), alluvium (L1020 (Tr.2), L1022 and L1025 (Tr.3), and peat (L1014 (Tr.1), L1021 (Tr.2) and L1026) (Tr.3) are present. |
