Abstract: |
In line with the requirements of the WSI, the methods used were as follows: • The archaeological monitoring of all groundworks related to the development, consisting of three foundation trenches. Number 6 The Street is situated in an area of high archaeological potential. The site is located in the vicinity of a Roman Road that runs from Braughing to Great Chesterford, as well as to the church of St Mary the Virgin (likely on the site of a Saxon Minster), and to a site of significant Saxon activity at Pentlows Farm. As a result there was a relatively high likelihood that archaeological remains would be encountered during the project. However no features or finds were discovered, save for some post-medieval pottery and animal bone fragments in the topsoil. The presence of consistent topsoil and subsoil layers suggests that there has not been any significant disturbance to the site in the recent past, so it is possible that this excavation was located outside of the area of earlier occupation, or that it lay between widely dispersed archaeological features. As no archaeological features were present, the original research aims of the project could not be advanced on this occasion. |
