Abstract: |
Fenland District Council granted planning permission for the erection of a garden centre (with restaurant area) and change of use of an existing building to a 3-bedroom dwelling at 134 London Road, Chatteris, Cambridgeshire, PE16 6SG. The evaluation comprised the excavation of ten trial trenches across the 1.4ha site. No archaeological remains pre-dating the medieval period were revealed. The features identified comprised eight furrows, four modern ditches, five modern postholes and two modern wall foundations. Two of the ditches and all the postholes relate to the boundary of the old Black Jack pub and the remaining features are all drainage and structural elements linked to the demolished garden centre. The evaluation showed that in the medieval period the area was most likely within open fields, with the arable strips arranged at right angles to London Road. There was no evidence of any earlier land-use. The land surface was reduced as part of the construction of a garden centre in the 20th century. The results of the evaluation have no potential to address regional research objectives. |
