Abstract: |
In February 2011 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) conducted a programme of archaeological monitoring and recording at 8 Earning Street, Godmanchester, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 2480 7026). The monitoring was conducted in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval for an extension to the side of an existing building (CCC CAPCA 1000331FUL). The site is immediately south of the Roman town of Duroviguto (CHER 00857) and 180m north of a roadside settlement (CHER 01453A). Ermine Street ran within 50m to the west (CHER 01543b) along which Roman inhumations were interred (CHER 10376). Next door to the site at Number 6, Roman strata was identified at the level of the building foundations (CB15608,) and other Roman finds have been made within approximately 100m (CHER 01541, 01544, 02633, 05561, CB14808). The medieval town ditch re-cut from the Saxo-Norman period is some 50m north of the site (CHER 02631) and a blacksmiths was located approximately 80m to the west (CHER 02650). The monitoring revealed both Roman and post-medieval finds. An unexcavated feature, present below the level of construction, contained a fragment of Gaulish amphorae, uggesting the presence of undisturbed Roman features at a depth of c.1.1m. |
