Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during the construction of 17 new dwellings. The watching brief monitored the excavation of groundworks associated with the development. Prehistoric stone tools of Mesolithic and Neolithic periods had been found in the vicinity. A possible Bronze Age ring ditch and an Iron Age enclosure were known from east of the site. The development was located on the northern fringes of the medieval town. The watching brief identified a single ditch of unknown date cut into natural deposits. Finds retrieved during this investigation included two prehistoric flint tools, a single sherd of Romano-British pottery, a 13th century Stanion-Lyveden ware sherd and a quantity of 18th-19th century pottery, glass and tile.
