Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken of the 0.5ha site in advance of a proposed housing development. A 'U' shaped trench was placed across the north-western portion of the proposed development site to ascertain the presence or absence of archaeological remains. Besides the evidence for post-medieval furrows, no other archaeological features were uncovered. Lack of early archaeological evidence was likely to have been due to the location of the development site away from the fen edge where activity had been recorded, and from the core of the medieval settlement, south of the development area. Trenches 2 and 3 were excavated in the southern part of the development area in order to locate the Roman road - Fen Causeway. Trench 2 revealed an undated post hole and Victorian remains were encountered in Trench 3. Lack of evidence from the present development site may have suggested that the course of the Roman road lay further south, closer to the projected line of Stonald Road. [Au(abr)] |
