Abstract: |
This archaeological Desk-Based Assessment (DBA) was commissioned by QuBE Planning Ltd in response to a brief issued by Cambridgeshire Archaeology Planning and Countryside Advice (CAPCA) (Gdaniec 2008). The DBA is the first stage of archaeological investigation to determine the presence/absence of known archaeological sites within the Proposed Development Area (PDA) and study area environs, to suggest the potential for archaeological remains and assess the likely impact of development at the site, centred on NGR TL 4848 4725. Examination of the archaeological, historical and cartographic evidence shows the PDA to be located in an area of intense medieval and post-medieval activity, which includes a Scheduled Monument (No. 24432) and two listed buildings. There is some evidence of earlier human activity dating from the prehistoric to Saxon periods in the wider landscape with finds of worked flint, pottery and human remains, although this is exclusively outside of the PDA. There is also evidence of modern activity, primarily connected to World War Two. |
