Abstract: |
In January 2019 MOLA was commissioned by CgMs Heritage (Part of the RPS Group) to carry out an archaeological trial trench excavation at land east of Silver Street, Buckden, Cambridgeshire in advance of residential development. Fifty-eight trenches were excavated, nineteen of which contained archaeological features dating to the Iron Age, The rest of the trenches contained post-medieval boundary ditches, ridge and furrow, field drains and isolated undated features. The main focus of archaeology was on the north-west side of the site identified during the previous geophysical survey, on top of a south facing slope. Two smaller areas of archaeology were identified in the north-east and south-west areas of the site. |
