Abstract:
In May 2008, Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation of 91 High Street, Chatteris, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 3919 8653). It is proposed to redevelop the site, following demolition of the previously fire-damaged 91 High Street and constructe eight new residential dwellings with associated parking, landscaping, services and access. The desk-based assessment showed the potential for multi-period remains. The evidence suggests that it was likely that Chatteris was occupied in the mid to late prehistoric period with a settlement possbily close to the site. Roman occupational evidence has been found in Chatteris and indicates that a settlement may have been located near to the High Street. There was no evidence to suggest Chatteris was occupied in the early Anglo-Saxon period but a settlement was likely to have originated after the construction of St Mary''s Abbey in the 11th century. The medieval settlement grew around the religious house and it may have extended as far as Slade Lode moving south along the High Street, close to the site. The post-medieval period brought growth to the town which is shown by the abundance of building in this period particularly along the High Street, including within plot No. 91. The trial trench evaluation revealed a small number of features, primarily post holes, brick foundations, and a small gully, within the south-western portion of the site. These features appeared modern and were most likely associated with the 19th century structures that formerly occupied the site.
