Abstract: |
An archaeological desk-based assessment and evaluation were undertaken in advance of the proposed construction of four dwellings. The assessment found that the site lay at the periphery of the historic medieval settlement of Chatteris, in an area which was probably characterised by a marginal fen/arable agricultural regime. Archaeological sites in the immediate area were sparse, despite the close proximity of the medieval parish church, though dense concentrations of prehistoric and Roman remains were to be found further to the east and south. The assessment site was enclosed from the fen margin before the early 19th century and remained undeveloped until the second half of the 20th century. The evaluation revealed a number of irregular features. An iron nail was present in one feature. The features were all likely natural in origin. [Au(adp)] |
