Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation on land to the east of Ickleton Road, Duxford, Cambridgeshire comprising 17 trenches and 12 test pits. Machine sondages through natural ''pond'' features in trenches 6, 14 and 15 did not reveal any evidence for use in the Prehistoric period in the form of flint tools or debitage flakes, although small abraded sherds of Bronze Age pottery found in the topsoil above one of these features may suggest that they were utilised in some form. Further evidence of Prehistoric use of the site is almost entirely confined to stray finds in ploughsoil contexts across the proposed development area, with the exception of a single worked flint was found during hand excavation of the test pits. A single isolated Saxon pit (fully excavated during the evaluation) was uncovered during the course of fieldwork. |
