Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook an archaeological evaluation of Royston Solar Farm, north of Royston in South Cambridgeshire. This took place between 26th October 2015 and 6th November 2015. The work was commissioned by Canadian Solar Power. Forty-four trenches were excavated in the proposed Development Area, ten of which contained archaeological remains. One Heritage Asset was identified. The development site is located in a rich archaeological landscape. Geophysical survey showed a possible routeway and several large, circular anomalies which had notable morphological similarities to Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments. These anomalies have been investigated via trial trenching and found to be mainly natural (geological) in origin. The routeway, comprising a hollow-way and flanking ditches was identified and sampled in several trenches. Its identification and investigation is useful to those studying communication routes in the area. |
