Abstract:
Huntingdonshire District Council granted planning permission for the erection of 10 residential properties, car parking and associated landscaping on land at the north-west end of the former Anglian House site, Ambury Road South, Huntingdon. Because of the high archaeological potential of the permitted development area , the Cambridgeshire Historic Environment Team recommended a condition was attached to the planning consent , requiring the implementation of a programme of archaeological investigation. The trial trenching comprised the excavation of five c.5m x 5m trial trenches. The trenching found no evidence for any former settlement and historical maps confirm that the site remained undeveloped until c.1980. Alluvial deposits and palaeochannel silts indicated that conditions were probably far too wet to support the significant expansion of the town along Ambury Road in the medieval or post-medieval periods. A late-19th-century well was the only structure identified, and this was probably within a private garden.
