Abstract:
Matrix Planning Ltd submitted a planning application (18/01604/FUL) to Huntingdonshire District Council for the erection of industrial buildings on land to the east of Old North Road, Sawtry, Cambridgeshire. Because of the high archaeological potential of the site, the Cambridgeshire Historic Environment Team (CHET) advised the applicant to provide information (by means of an archaeological evaluation of the site) on the potential impact of the proposed development on archaeological remains. Nine 30m x 1.8m trial trenches and an L-shaped trench measuring 42m x 1.8m were excavated. They revealed evidence for medieval strip cultivation, a possible 17th-18th-century demolished structure or building and an undated ditch. The evidence for medieval strip cultivation suggests the area was part of a system of open fields in this period. The absence of artefacts suggests a non-domestic function for the building, possibly related to agriculture. The undated ditch contained no finds and most likely represents the remains of a field boundary.
