Abstract:
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Jacobs UK Ltd, on behalf of the Highways Agency, to undertake a detailed magnetometer and UAV survey over the area of three proposed borrow pits that are to be used for the proposed A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon improvements scheme (centred on NGRs TL 30300 67900, TL 34300 65200 and TL 40250 62900). The survey was undertaken with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features on the site as part of a programme of archaeological works, ahead of proposed development. The archaeological features detected include two enclosure complexes, one of these clearly relates to a settlement area demonstrated by ring gullies of round houses identified within the enclosure. There are also isolated ditch sections scattered throughout the data; some relate to fairly recent former field boundaries but others may indicate earlier field systems. Ridge and furrow was detected across most of the proposed site of borrow pit 6 with a smaller spread identified within the borrow pit 3 area. The survey was undertaken between the 22nd September and 10th October 2014 by Wessex Archaeology's in-house geophysics team. Although not originally included in the WSI, further UAV survey was carried out on the 30th and 31st of October by Callen-Lenz with the assistance of Wessex Archaeology. Given the current ground surface and previous ploughing there is minimal surface expression of potential archaeological features, and those noted in the UAV datasets do not appear to to identifiable in the magnetometer data.
