Abstract: |
On the 14th February 2017 Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook a trial trench evaluation on land north of 5 Linden Drive, Cambridgeshire, as a condition of a planning application, in advance of the erection of two dwellings. A design brief issued by Cambridgeshire County Council Historic Environment Team required a programme of linear trial trenching to adequately sample the threatened area. One trench measuring 20.00x1.80m was excavated to achieve this. The archaeological background suggested that the site had a potential for encountering archaeological remains dating to the medieval and post-medieval periods. The site's stated potential for the discovery of archaeological features from the post-medieval period was fulfilled by ditch 1004, which was likely a boundary ditch for the demarcation of agricultural land. Located on the western side of the Chatteris, the area was an agricultural setting until the construction of the timber yard in the 20th Century, before the subsequent construction of housing in the 1980s and 1990s. |
