Abstract: |
Trial trench evaluation on land at 83 Moorfield Road, Whittlesford, Cambridgeshire (TL 47940 47100), as part of a scheme of pre-planning archaeological works in advance of the construction of 15 houses and associated works. A design brief issued by Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team (CCC HET) required an evaluation comprising of 7 trenches each measuring 25.00m x 1.80m. Background research for the project indicated that evidence for late Iron Age and Roman activity was most likely to be encountered. Significant Iron Age and Roman pottery production sites exist close to the area of works, with further evidence of Roman agricultural activity in the immediate area. No archaeological features were identified and no finds were recovered from the site. It is likely that no archaeology is present on the area of works, given the lack of any archaeological material scattered by ploughing in the agricultural subsoil. |
