Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken within the grounds of the Red Lion Public House, Whittlesford Bridge, Cambridgeshire, (NGR TL 4848 4725), from the 2nd June to 9th June 2008 in advance of a proposed development of a hotel (Figure 1). The position and orientation of the trenches was determined by the proposed development and the location of trees, services and garden features. The evaluation revealed evidence for Late Mesolithic/earlier Neolithic activity, in the form of two tree throws and worked flint, potential medieval activity in the form of a pit, and two linears and a posthole of uncertain date. A wall related to mid 19th century outbuildings was also recorded. The land to the south of the chapel and public house was truncated and disturbed due to the construction and subsequent demolition of buildings during the mid 20th century. |
