Abstract: |
On the 5th and 6th of February 2018, Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook a trial trench evaluation a (TL 4633 5892) on behalf of Carter Jonas as a condition of a planning application, in advance of the erection of 10 flats and a cafe (Fig. 1). The evaluation was undertaken in response to a design brief issued by Cambridgeshire Historic Environment Team (CHET) (Thomas, A. dated 3rd October 2017) which required a programme of linear trial trenching to adequately sample the threatened available area. The trenching was to cover 5% of the site area and originally comprised of 1 10.00m x 1.80m trench. However due to the presence of a sewage pipe the trenching was reduced to one 5.00m x 1.80m trench which was the maximum length of trenching that could be achieved in the remaining space. The archaeological background for the site suggested that there was a moderate to high potential for features and finds relating to the medieval and post-medieval periods. The evaluation, however, found no archaeological features. Layers of made ground for levelling the site in association with modern development during the 1900s were encountered and contained pieces of 20th century CBM. Despite the high potential for medieval and post-medieval activity on the site, only modern levelling layers of made ground were encountered representing the modern development. |
