Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation on 20 hectares of arable land to the northwest of Ely was undertaken. An aerial photograph appraisal of the area revealed faint traces of ridge and furrow on the development area, but no other definite archaeological features. Fieldwalking produced a 'background' of worked flint (diagnostic pieces were Late Neolithic or Bronze Age in date), and medieval and post-medieval pot sherds which had been deposited during the manuring of the fields. Evaluation trenches revealed 24 archaeological features mainly within two clusters, one in the centre of the area and the other at the eastern end of the development area. In the centre of the development area an isolated, circular pit lined with the shattered remains of two Late Bronze Age vessels was revealed. At the eastern end of the area12 undated parallel linear features of uncertain origin were recorded beneath a headland. [Au] |
