Abstract: |
The South Cambridgeshire Local Plan (adopted February 2004) has allocated a gross area of 4.23ha for residential development at land north of Bannold Road, Waterbeach. Cambridgeshire County Council''s Principal Archaeologist had previously indicated that a pre-determination archaeological evaluation would be recommended for any planning application received for the site. A design brief for an archaeological evaluation was issued by the County Archaeology Office. Albion Archaeology was commissioned to undertake the archaeological evaluation. It comprised a desk-based assessment, followed by trial excavation. The aims of the investigation were to determine the date, character and extent of any archaeological remains within the development area. The desk-based assessment revealed the development area to be on the fringes of the historic core of Waterbeach. Fifteen trial trenches were opened around the periphery of the site. The majority did not contain archaeological deposits. However, two linear gullies (likely to represent Roman enclosure boundaries) were identified in the south-western and south-eastern corners of the site. |
