Abstract: |
In July 2009, Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation of land at the corner of Lancaster Way and Bedwell Ley Lane, Lancaster Business Park, Ely, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 5512 2782). The evaluation was commissioned in advance of a proposal to develop the site comprising the construction of a builders yard, offices, storage facilities, joinery workshop and associated works (Planning ref: 09/00295/FUL). Substantial archaeological remains have been recorded locally. Iron Age and Roman settlement remains have been investigated within and in the vicinity of Lancaster Way Business Park, including Iron Age enclosures and roundhouses and Roman boundareis. Evidence for a former Anglo-Saxon cemetery (HER 02014) was also discovered during levelling works within the aerodrome in 1947. Despite the archaeological potential of the site, in the event the only archaeological feature present was a shallow curvilinear ditch, F 1005, in the middle of trench 2. It contained no finds. Natural root hollows were visible at the north-eastern end of Trench 2. A modern rubbish pit was recorded in Trench 1, and an earlier asphalt surface was present in Trench3. The latter features may have been associated with the former airfield. |
