Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out in advance of construction of 11 affordable homes with associated access and services. Undated cropmarks indicating the presence of multiple square/rectangular enclosures are located 500m to the north and beyond . Their morphology, and scatters of Iron Age and Roman material found nearby suggest they are of those periods. The principal manor site at Comberton is located approximately 550m to the west and was in existence from the mid 14th century. The site lay outside the village prior to 1800 and the map regression indicates no changes to the field layout since 1840. The area was not developed until after World War II. Four evaluation trenches and eight test pits were excavated, and no archaeological features were identified. Post-medieval pottery and ceramic building material were recovered from the topsoil and subsoil. |
