Abstract: |
The site is located within the former precinct of Chatteris Abbey, founded in c. AD 1000 and dissolved in 1538; medieval walls and burials were recorded during an evaluation in the garden of the neighbouring house at No. 19 Victoria Street. The aim of the evaluation was to characterise the archaeological potential of the proposed development area. A single c. 2 x 2m test pit was dug within the footprint of the proposed extension to the rear of a residential property. This revealed a well-preserved stratified sequence of finds-rich medieval layers and deposits. Many of these deposits are likely to be dumps of rubbish from the monastic kitchens, which have previously been suggested as being located in precisely this area. . |
