Abstract: |
In order to assess the archaeological risk posed by a proposal to construct 19 dwellings with warden accomodation and garaging on Old Estate Yard, Overend, Elton, Nr Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, the Heritage Network was commissioned by Tanner and Tilley Planning Ltd to undertake a desk-based archaeological assessment of the site. The site lies in an area which has produced archaeological evidence for human activity since the Neolithic period. The evidence also suggests that the site of Burystead, which lies in the north-west corner of the village of Elton and became one of the manors of the Abbot of Ramsay, may have been occupied from the 3rd/4th century until the beginning of the 18th century. Old Estate Yard, which is Grade II listed, was built as a foundary/workshop for James Hayes, who invented agricultural machinery there in the mid 19th century. Although the northernmost buildings included in the proposed development are modern, the others appear to incorporate some of the original building work within their present form. |
