Abstract: |
In January 2010, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) conducted an archaeological evaluation at 40 High Street, Ramsey Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 2865 8506). The evaluation was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning permission for the construction of a pair of semi-detached houses (East Cambridgeshire Planning Ref. 0900595/FUL). The site lies within the historic core of the medieval town. A Roman Samian bowl was found c.100 metres to the east. Excavations at properties further to the east along High Street have found evidence of post-holes for timber buildings, yards, and ditches relating to water management or boundaries, along with 11th-14th century pottery. Two trial trenches were excavated. Trench 1 revealed evidence of a former watercourse (L1010 and L1028), a possible hearth (F1020), a possible causeway (F1012), two buried medieval soils (L1011 and L1029), and a large post-medieval pit (F1016). Trench 2 also revealed evidence of a former watercourse (L1018). The former fen level (L1025), two buried medieval soils (L1004 and L1005), a medieval clay dump/layer (L1023), a possible causeway (F1008), and a modern animal burial (F1006) were also recorded. |
