Abstract: |
From the 7th to the 9th of June 2021, Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook a trial trenching evaluation on behalf of Andrew Josephs of Thriplow Farms Ltd. The archaeological work was required as a condition of application S/3566/17/FL/20/02308/S73, for the construction a new grain store and creation of an access from Fowlmere Road together with planting and formation of an acoustic bund at Land East of Fowlmere Road, Foxton (TL 4216 4719) (Fig. 1). The evaluation identified two phases of activity. This first phase of activity is represented by the remains of subsoil 1001. This soil, which is likely post medieval in date, represents outlying agricultural activity associated with the nearby village of Foxton. The second phase is represented by the modern ploughsoil from the current agricultural use of the site. Despite the potential the site yielded no archaeological features or finds. The paucity of archaeological deposits is suggestive of the site being an open field with a throughout its history, being utilised at various periods for cropping and potentially animal husbandry. |
