Abstract: |
• Stage One: An archaeological field evaluation of the site consisting of 30m of linear trenching arranged in a T-shape, a minimum bucket width of 1.8m, with a total of 54m2; an additional 5m trenching for judgemental use in the field: to extend trenches over whole features, to enable safe excavation where deposits are deep and to check orientations or extents of significant remains should this prove necessary (Fig. 4). • Stage Two: An appraisal of the results of the evaluation and their significance with regard to the proposed development. This in turn may lead to the definition of a programme of investigation and recording of archaeological remains which will be destroyed by the development. CHET will in turn prepare a Brief for the next phase of investigation that will also cover a programme of post-excavation, analysis and publication • Stage Three: The implementation of an agreed programme of archaeological investigation and recording based on the Brief In January 2023, KDK Archaeology Ltd undertook an Archaeological Evaluation at Meagre Farm, Kimbolton Road, Hail Weston, St Neots, Cambridgeshire, prior to the construction of a new manège. The archaeological evaluation comprised the excavation of two 15m long trenches arranged in a T-shape within the footprint of the development. Despite the proximity of late prehistoric (Iron Age) or Roman remains no archaeological features, finds or deposits were revealed by evaluation. As the development is situated outside of any known settlement area it seems likely that it lies between widely dispersed features or it was simply located on the periphery of human activity. Consequently, it has not been possible to achieve any of stated the aims of the project. |
