Abstract: |
In January 2011 Archaeological Solutions Ltd conducted a trial trench evaluation on land off Lisle Lane, Ely, Cambridgeshire (TL 5475 8030). The evaluation was undertaken in advanceof the development of a new supermarket. The site is located on the north-eastern periphery of the historic core of the medieval city and largely served horticultural purposes until the latter half of the 20th century. Demolition work has cleared the modern light industrial units, and only the 1970's chemical works remains standing when the evaluation was undertaken. The trial trench evaluation revealed an undated gully and a modern pit. Modern land drains, terracing, modern building foundations and modern services were all encountered and had caused truncation, but not sufficient that had archaeological features been present they would have been revealed. In fact the made ground layers afforded some protection to the stratigraphy in the south-eastern sector of each terrace where undisturbed fen deposits where recorded. No archaeological remains were present. |
