Abstract: |
In April 2008, Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation of land at 23 Fen End, Over, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 3785 7075). The evaluation was commissioned in compliance with an archaeological condition and in advance of the residential development of the site (Planning ref: S/2249/04/F). The proposed development comprises the construction of seven houses and garages on the former Joinery works plot All three trenches contained archaeological features. The majority of features were recorded in Trench 3, and the majority of features were ditches. Within Trench 3 the ditches followed a similar alignment (NW/SE). The features were largely undated. Only Ditch F1024 (Tr.3) contained pottery (17th - 18th / 19th century). The ditch also contained animal bone (63g) and iron nails (40g). Finds were sparse and Ditch F1030 (Tr.3) was the only other feature to contain artefacts (animal bone (516g) and iron nail (12g) F1018 (Tr.2), F1020 (Tr.3), F1022 (Tr.3), F1024 (Tr.3) and F1030 (Tr.3) were cut from relatively high up, and cut L1004. These features were the most recent, and F1024 contained 17th - 18th / 19th century pottery. F1030 was the only other feature on site to contain finds. All the earlier features are undated and contained no finds |
