Abstract: |
In July 2011, Archaeological Solutions Limited (AS), conducted an archaeological evaluation (trial trenching) at land south of Station Road, Bluntisham, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 35862 73323). The evaluation was a requirement of planning in advance of the construction of a traveller halting site (Huntingdonshire Planning Ref. 0900695FUL). The evaluation was targeted to examine cropmarks previously identified from aerial photography, and judged to be of archaeological potential. The cropmarks were interpreted as representing a number of sunken floored buildings of Saxon date, and half an arc of a ring ditch of probable Bronze Age date (Palmer, 2011). A ditch was identified during the evaluation, and finds recovered from its fills indicate a possible Middle Saxon date. The remaining crop marks were shown to represent recent quarrying activity, and were not archaeological. |
