Abstract: |
From the 20th to 30th of October 2020 Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook an archaeological evaluation at Land West of 4 Coates Drove, Isleham (TL 6440 7470). The site had a high potential for Roman period activity; particularly the continuation of the Roman agricultural activity previously identified on several sites adjacent to the development site. There was a moderate-high potential for Saxon, medieval, and post-medieval finds and features, again particularly a continuation of the features from these periods identified adjacent to the site. The evaluation revealed 3 phases of occupation at the site. Phase 1 relates to prehistoric activity at the site. This is focused on trench 1 and likely represents a form of minimal peripheral activity possibly temporary in nature. Phase 2 relates to the period of Roman occupation that was also seen in the excavations directly adjacent to the site at 32 - 34 Church Lane, Isleham. The excavation revealed that the Roman phases appears to have ceased in the late 2nd century which can be also seen in the current evaluation. The features in this phase represent an extension of those seen in the adjacent excavations and are clearly domestic in nature. The nature of this activity is difficult to ascertain within the limited scope of archaeological evaluation. |
