Abstract: |
A further phase of archaeological evaluation on land at Church Street, Thorney, Cambridgeshire (approximately centred on NGR TF 2827 0429) was undertaken by University of Leicester Archaeological Services prior to the development of the site. The work was carried out in January 2004 and comprised the excavation of a 2m x 12m trial trench and a 2.5m x 2m test pit. The work revealed a number of layers containing a range of archaeological material predominantly from the 16th century and post-medieval period. The layers showed evidence of occupation debris with one layer containing quantities of organic material. Three undated features were recorded cutting into the natural substrata. The results from the evaluation suggest that the northern part of the development site was at the very edge of the medieval Thorney Island with many of the layers being formed by dumped/cultivated material. The archive from the evaluation will be held by Peterborough Museum and Art Gallery under the site code THY 04. |
